                         FOCUSING ON SOLUTIONS

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to serve in the House, where 
we're continuing to work on the American peoples' priorities: 
encouraging job creation, growing our economy, and stopping policies 
that hurt American families.
  Already this year, we voted to create tens of thousands of jobs and 
move toward North American energy independence by passage of Keystone 
pipeline legislation.
  We've also voted to save jobs from policies that hurt our economic 
growth by passing a budget that will balance in 10 years and repealing 
the President's health care law that is already costing jobs.
  In addition, we've worked to expand opportunities for all Americans 
by passing legislation that allows for a better trained workforce in 
removing barriers to help balance the needs of family time and work.
  Our focus is on solutions--not blame and excuses--to help encourage a 
healthy and prosperous economy, to create jobs, and to expand 
opportunities for all Americans.
