        GETTING OUR ECONOMY BACK ON TRACK AND CREATING NEW JOBS

  (Mr. CRITZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CRITZ. Mr. Speaker, getting our economy back on track and 
creating new jobs is the priority of my constituents and a top priority 
of my own.
  The Democratic Congress has already taken significant steps to create 
jobs and jump-start the economy, resulting in the lowest tax rates in 
over 50 years and the creation of over 500,000 new jobs so far this 
year. The American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act continues these 
efforts.

  Current tax law allows companies here in the United States to be 
rewarded for shipping American jobs overseas. This is unconscionable, 
and American workers deserve better. This legislation includes 
provisions that close these tax loopholes and protects jobs here at 
home. This legislation will also continue to provide hard-working 
American families with the relief they deserve, relief on property 
taxes, sales taxes, and college tuition.
  Mr. Speaker, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act is 
another important step to creating new jobs and jump-starting our 
economy.
