                          JOB CREATION POLICY

  (Mr. WALZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WALZ. Madam Speaker, perhaps my career as a public schoolteacher 
and having survived 20 years of the high school lunchroom makes me more 
optimistic than some of my colleagues in here--the idea of the trust 
that I have in our young people and in this country to overcome any 
adversities we see.
  This weekend, I was out in Winona, Minnesota, at Peerless Chain 
Company, the number one producer of chain in this country, from tying 
down our jet fighters on aircraft carriers to providing the chains and 
the booms protecting the gulf coast. This is an American company who's 
standing with me in making sure that we get our provisions here, that 
don't extend long-range plans to outsource jobs, to allow people to 
take tax cuts to end jobs overseas but to keep them here in America. 
They were there also to focus on hiring veterans.
  A company founded by Polish immigrants in 1917 who fought in World 
War I protecting American jobs, now we have the largest manufacturer of 
chain in North America, the fourth largest in the world, producing good 
American jobs by veterans and stamping those crates that go over to 
Asia with ``Made in America'' with a big American flag.
  That's our job creation policy. That's what America can be, and 
that's what going forward means instead of turning back to disastrous 
policies that outsource those jobs.
