                          UNIFIED REPUBLICANS

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, although Republicans face new challenges in 
the coming Congress, one thing is clear. We are unified in our 
determination to pursue policies to strengthen our Nation and our 
economy.
  Republicans will continue to fight for complete victory in the global 
war on terror and work to ensure that the intelligence community and 
our troops have all the tools necessary to complete their mission. 
Through Republican policies of providing the administration the tools 
it needs to be successful in the war on terror, we helped defend our 
Nation from another attack on American soil.
  Republicans are unified in our ideals of tax relief for all Americans 
to grow the economy and provide opportunities for every American to 
prosper. As a direct result of the Republican tax relief policies, 
unemployment is at 4.4 percent, there have been 38 consecutive months 
of job creation, and wages have risen 2.4 percent over the last year. 
These are undeniable accomplishments of the Republican-led Congress 
that affect all Americans. Republicans provided tax breaks for American 
families through the child tax credit and marriage tax penalty relief 
and voted to kill the death tax.
  Republican policies have made our Nation safer and stronger, and we 
are unified in our fight to continue these successful policies.
