                        LEGISLATIVE ACHIEVEMENT

  (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, it is hard to tell by reading the 
front pages of papers across the country, but the House has been 
racking up legislative accomplishments, one after another after 
another, most of the times with growing bipartisan support.
  Look at just a few of the accomplishments in the first 100 days of 
this Congress.
  Legal reform. The Class Action Fairness Act addresses the most 
serious lawsuit abuse by allowing larger interstate class action cases 
to be heard in Federal courts with a Consumer Class Action Bill of 
Rights.
  Border security and immigration reform. The REAL ID Act completes the 
work of the 9/11 Commission recommendations by implementing reforms to 
strengthen our border security and better protect our homeland.
  The death tax repeal. The permanent repeal of the death tax ends the 
unjust and unfair tax on millions.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a great pleasure and a welcome sight to me to see 
my colleagues on the other side of the aisle join us to do the people's 
work. Let us continue that good work and tackle Social Security and tax 
reform.
