                            THE BOTTOM LINE

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Well done, my good and faithful servants.
  That must be what the Koch brothers and the corporate Tea Party 
backers are saying. Their Republican Party in the House has for the 
whole year been able to stave off any fairness by protecting their 
millionaires and billionaires from being denied tax breaks.
  Here we are at the end of the session, and they leave having not 
allowed this body to vote on the bipartisan agreement that the Senate 
reached with the House leadership's consent--an agreement that passed 
89-10--and they went home. So we won't get a chance to vote on that 
package. They refused to let us do so. That's the story that we end 
with.
  That's the bottom line, and that's the way it is.
