                           MAKE IT IN AMERICA

  (Mr. CLARKE of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, while today we are debating how 
we can address public needs with fewer and fewer public dollars, I am 
here to bring good news on how this Congress, this past Congress, 
invested our tax dollars to help save jobs.
  The new General Motors, which I proudly represent, recently announced 
a new financial milestone: four consecutive quarters of profitability. 
That's not only good for GM and its shareholders but also for its 
employees, the majority of whom will receive profit sharing of over 
$4,000 each.
  What that shows is that when this Congress works with our President 
to invest in U.S. manufacturing, that helps all of us to ``make it in 
America.''
