                        AN AUTUMN GROWTH AGENDA

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Mr. Speaker, over the last months I've had the 
privilege to travel across the 14th Congressional District in Illinois. 
I've met with hundreds of my constituents at town hall meetings, coffee 
shops, diners, and in their workplaces. Over and over I heard the same 
concern about our economy and our Nation.
  We talked about how to get our economy moving again, and many of my 
constituents are convinced that we must get government out of the way, 
cut spending, cut redtape, keep taxes low. They know, as I do, that 
government itself cannot create jobs. They know that the best thing we 
can do to help our economy is to create a pro-growth environment, 
reasonable regulations, fiscal sanity, and a cleaner, fairer Tax Code.
  I'm pleased that that will be our agenda here in the House this fall, 
and I look forward to serving my constituents by giving our job 
creators the certainty they need to expand, hire, and get our economy 
moving again.
