           ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF REPUBLICAN-LED CONGRESS TO DATE

  (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, as we head home for the Memorial 
Day recess this weekend, let us take a look at all of the 
accomplishments of our Republican-led Congress so far this year: 
bankruptcy reform, class action fairness, REAL ID Act with immigration 
reform, permanent repeal of the death tax, continuity of government, 
comprehensive energy policy, and many others that I would like to list, 
but the time is too short.
  All of these bills were overwhelmingly bipartisan and overwhelming 
common-sense, good government legislation. Constituents will appreciate 
the fact that Republicans are listening to their concerns and taking 
positive, productive steps to reach solutions.
  There is much work to do, and we are methodically getting that work 
done. It may not be flashy, but it is responsibility in action, and 
Americans appreciate this. Republicans will continue to tackle the 
tough issues of the day rather than pass the buck on to future 
generations. Americans may not read about it in their newspapers or 
hear about it on the nightly news; however, solutions are happening 
here and now.
  Mr. Speaker, success is defined in terms of solutions, not in terms 
of rhetoric, and solutions are what Republicans are bringing to the 
American people.
