                          TO CELEBRATE AMERICA

  (Mr. HAYES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to celebrate with my colleagues 
the American people. We in the majority have worked hard to empower 
people to create opportunities, to make jobs, to do things that turn 
America into a place where people can achieve their dreams. That is 
what is happening. It is also in stark contrast to the U.N., that sits 
on their collective duffs while people in the Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan 
need help.
  So, yes, we do celebrate America today because the majority will 
stand up and empower the American people to live that American Dream 
and to be part of making a better, freer, and safer world.
