                    EXTEND UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS NOW

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is a shame and a disgrace that 
we did not extend unemployment insurance. Every single Member who voted 
``no'' yesterday should be ashamed of themselves.
  People are suffering. They are hurting. They are in pain. They cannot 
make ends meet. And too many, just too many on the other side of the 
aisle turned a deaf ear.
  I ask my Republican colleagues: Can't you hear? Can't you feel? Can't 
you see? Where is your heart? Where is your compassion? Where is your 
concern?
  Extend unemployment benefits, and extend it now.
