                           MAKE IT IN AMERICA

  (Mr. CARNAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARNAHAN. Madam Speaker, today I rise in strong support of 
American manufacturing. The Make It In America agenda creates jobs in 
America, reversing the flow of jobs overseas, and rebuilding the 
manufacturing base in America, providing good jobs for hardworking 
Americans.
  Back home in St. Louis, I had the chance to visit with Lunar Tool, a 
small business in my district. They shared with me their concerns about 
the future of manufacturing and that with the right incentives and a 
level playing field, they can compete with anyone, anywhere. That is 
what we were sent here to do, to help rebuild our economy, including 
American manufacturing.
  I have and will remain committed to working with my colleagues on 
both sides of the aisle to give small business and manufacturing the 
resources they need to rebuild this economy and put Americans back to 
work.
  According to the Alliance for American Manufacturing, every 
manufacturing job supports four additional jobs in other industries. 
Now is not the time to stall. We must tap American innovation, that 
spirit that helped make this country great, to get Americans back to 
work and make things in America.
