                        REPUBLICANS HAVE A PLAN

  (Ms. JENKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. JENKINS. Madam Speaker, the question on everyone's mind in this 
Nation today is: where are the jobs? And, more importantly, what is 
Washington going to do about it?
  Well, Republicans have a plan. We want to open new markets to 
exports, make the Tax Code fairer and flatter, rein in regulations, and 
reform government spending.
  But when we look across the negotiation table, what do we see? 
Nothing. We hear a lot of speeches and that a lot of things are on the 
table; but, of course, there is no plan from the Democrats. No plan to 
read, to score, or to negotiate.
  To this point, the director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget 
Office recently said: ``We don't estimate speeches.''
  So, Mr. President, where is your plan?
  I implore my friends across the aisle and across the Rotunda to get 
off the stump. Give us a plan. Compile those nice words into 
legislation so we can get Americans back to work.
