                THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF THE 109TH CONGRESS

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Madam Speaker, in the first 100 days of this Congress, we 
have passed class action fairness to combat lawsuit abuse. We have 
passed a supplemental appropriation funding our troops and their 
successful war in Iraq. We have passed a budget resolution. We have 
enforced and passed the REAL ID Act and border security, implementing 
driver's license reforms, defending our borders, strengthening 
deportation laws. We have passed the death tax repeal, the bankruptcy 
bill, and the Job Training Improvement Act. These are significant 
accomplishments.
  Some on the other side of the aisle would prefer to bring down the 
character of a man that leads this Chamber. I suggest when my 
colleagues are out of ideas and out of opportunities, they attack other 
people.
  It is time to get our own House in order. Lead forth the American 
people on behalf of the American people and stop this name calling, 
finger pointing, and derogatory accusations.
  America's House of Representatives is much better than that. Let us 
lead by example. Let us not lead by destruction.
