                       HOUSE REPUBLICAN JOBS PLAN

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, our economy cannot recover without tapping 
into the unlimited creative talents of the American people. Innovators 
and entrepreneurs all across the country are primed to be the spark 
that ignites the economic engine of America, putting millions of 
Americans back to work. But these bright job creators face many 
government-made obstacles to success.
  In our free enterprise system, access to private capital and 
investment is the lifeblood of our economy. With the threat of higher 
taxes on investment income and new financial regulations on community 
banks, it's no wonder that these small business owners aren't expanding 
or creating jobs. H.R. 2930 and H.R. 2940 are two bills that remove 
government barriers to economic growth by helping American businesses 
gain access to the vital investment capital they need to create jobs 
and grow the economy.
  Mr. Speaker, together we can pass legislation that will unleash the 
energy and talents of the American people and restore the prosperity 
and promise of the United States of America.
