                             ECONOMIC 9/11

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I want to commend our President, the 
administration, for the bold action they took today to help resolve our 
economic morass that we are expressing because of the past 
administration and the lack of regulations by this Congress. The stock 
market responded positively with a 500-point gain.
  I think it's important that people recognize the good that the 
administration is doing and trying to do, that we need to work together 
as a team, as Americans.
  After 9/11, Republicans and Democrats came together to support the 
President and support us in a great crisis. This is an economic 9/11. 
People should support the President and not do critical things.
  Some of them have even suggested, oh, he had time to fill out his 
NCAA bracket, where he correctly had the Memphis Tigers going to the 
Sweet Sixteen. There's nothing wrong with that. President Obama is good 
on the Sweet Sixteen, and he's good on the economy.
