                    MAKING AMERICA OPEN FOR BUSINESS

  (Ms. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to go red today and to honor 
our Girl Scouts.
  We have a wonderful woman in our beautiful Hudson Valley, Martha, who 
is from Wappingers Falls and who is a former computer programmer and a 
current substitute teacher. She wrote to me: It broke my heart to hear 
that Kodak filed for bankruptcy. What is being done to keep the 
companies that are producing made in the U.S.A. products here in the 
United States?
  Martha, that's a great question. And here's what we can do and what 
we're doing in the House of Representatives. We're working to make our 
Tax Code flatter and fairer. We're working to remove burdensome and 
unnecessary regulations. And we're working to take less from 
hardworking Americans like you so that we can spend and save and invest 
right here in our communities and in our country. We've sent 30 bills 
to the Senate, 27 of which still sit unanswered.
  So this week in the House of Representatives, we're working further 
to shrink the Federal Government and to make our budget process have 
common sense the way you do in your own homes. I urge the Senate to 
join us to work together to revive our economy and make America open 
for business again.
