               WE NEED A CONGRESS AMERICANS CAN COUNT ON

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Well, we were told that Don't Ask, Don't Tell was 
something we would take up once we had a study done because that's the 
only thing that would be fair to our men and women in the service. Now 
we're told the study will be finished at the end of the year; we're 
going to take up the bill now.
  We were told by the Supreme Court it was okay to have a cross in the 
Mojave Desert, but thieves went out there, took it out after they lost, 
and now the Park Service is working with the thieves, perhaps 
unwittingly, to keep it from happening.
  The Auto Task Force met behind closed doors, turned bankruptcy law 
upside down, made secured creditors unsecured, owned the place, took 
property without due process, turned the Constitution upside down. The 
Congress and the courts did nothing. No wonder employment is going down 
and unemployment is going up; businesses can't trust this government. 
It is time to get back to a body that deals honestly, with integrity 
and with a consistency the country and businesses and jobs can count 
on.
