                    WORKING FAMILIES FLEXIBILITY ACT

  (Mr. SCHWEIKERT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Madam Speaker, I wanted to take this 60-second moment 
to stand here in front of the House and talk a little bit about the 
Working Families Flexibility Act. I am someone that as a Member of 
Congress, in a previous life, has run both a State agency where they 
could do this, where actually employees at my State level had the 
options of how they managed their compensation, whether they wanted to 
take it in time or actually in dollars.
  But yet the arrogance, the continuing arrogance of Washington, it's 
good enough for our public employees, but it's not good enough for the 
businesses around the country. I've got to give Martha Roby credit. 
Thank you for bringing this bill before us. Hopefully, we're going to 
step up and say, if we really want economic choice for the American 
people, we'll pass this bill.
