                     REGULATIONS DON'T CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join the chorus of 
Americans asking Washington to stop damaging the economy with job-
killing regulations. Small businesses don't thrive when they're hit 
with additional burdens from the Federal Government.
  As unbelievable as it sounds, some in this body actually believe that 
new regulations create jobs because they force businesses to hire 
people to comply with the new mandates. Madam Speaker, this defies 
common sense. And that's why I am introducing two bills: one which 
would pause all new regulations for a year so that businesses would 
know the rules they are to live under, and another that would require 
Federal regulators to analyze the impact of their new rules on jobs and 
to find the least costly alternative for each new business mandate.
  Madam Speaker, let's come together and agree that regulations don't 
create jobs. And let's pass commonsense legislation to get America 
working again.
