                     HOUSE REPUBLICANS PROMOTE 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, according to an editorial 
in this week's Wall Street Journal:

       President Obama's climate speech on Tuesday was grandiose 
     even for him, but its surreal nature was its particular 
     hallmark. Mr. Obama's ``climate action plan'' adds up to one 
     of the most extensive reorganizations of the U.S. economy 
     imposed through administrative fiat and raw executive power. 
     But over his 6,500-word address, he articulated no such goal 
     for the unemployment rate or GDP.

  An energy policy, including higher taxes, more out-of-control 
spending, and increased government control of our daily lives will not 
promote jobs. It is a war on jobs. American families need job creation, 
a clean environment, economic certainty, and hope for future 
generations.
  Today, House Republicans will vote on an all-of-the-above energy bill 
that will create jobs, increase access to our own energy resources, and 
stimulate our weak economy. It is time for the Senate and the President 
to support our efforts for American families to reach their full 
potential.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
