                    EXTEND TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICANS

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, did you see the great economic 
news? Last month, November, 215,000 new jobs were created. Just another 
sign that the positive, productive policies of tax relief are working.
  In the past 2\1/2\ years, 4.4 million new jobs, an unemployment rate 
of 5 percent, lower than the average for the 70s, the 80s and the 90s.
  Look at the economic growth that has occurred over the last 10 
quarters, more than 3 percent growth each quarter, 10 straight 
quarters. Mr. Speaker, this is very good news.
  The American people expect us to do the responsible hard work that 
respects their hard work. I call on all Members of Congress to put 
aside politics and vote in favor of the extension of tax relief for all 
Americans and not to raise taxes at this pivotal time.
