                RED TAPE REDUCTION ACT HELPS CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, since the President took 
office, his administration has enacted over 400 new government 
regulations limiting small business owners from creating new jobs. This 
year alone, the Federal Register has published over 41,000 pages of 
regulations that would cost $56.6 billion and result in paperwork that 
would take over 114 million wasted hours to complete.
  With record unemployment, it is sadly clear that the President's new 
taxes and policies are failing American families and destroying jobs. 
House Republicans are focused on putting Americans back to work. As a 
result, we have passed over 30 job-creation bills in the past year. 
Sadly, these bills remain stalled by the liberal-controlled Senate.
  This week, the House, led by Kevin Brady, will vote on the Red Tape 
Reduction and Small Business Job Creation Act and, once again, attempt 
to remove government red tape prohibiting America's job creators from 
achieving economic success in creating jobs. I hope we can work 
together to support this legislation.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
