                          LET'S WORK TOGETHER

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, the American people are looking for results 
from Washington, D.C. Even though we have a divided government, I still 
believe we can and must work together to solve the many challenges 
facing our great Nation.
  More than anything, we must work together in the coming months to 
help put more Americans back to work and kick-start our sluggish 
economy. We can work together to reform our Tax Code and make it 
simpler and easier to understand and comply with. We can work together 
to build a national energy policy that safely utilizes all of America's 
resources, putting people to work and keeping energy costs down.
  We can work together to support education, research, infrastructure, 
immigration reform. Yes, and even pass a farm bill.
  We can work together to reform important programs like Medicare and 
Social Security so we can preserve and protect them for the future 
generations while balancing our budget and controlling spending.
  Today, our economy may be stagnant, but our optimism and 
determination have never been greater. Let's work together to renew the 
prosperity and opportunity for all Americans in our great Nation.
