                   ``NEW NORMAL''/VERIFICATION BILL I

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, last week we learned even more 
distressing news about our economy: the labor force participation rate 
is the lowest since 1979, during Jimmy Carter's Presidency.
  We refuse to settle for a ``new normal.'' Americans deserve better. 
And how do the President and Democrats in Congress plan to make things 
better? Well, they still insist on the full implementation of 
ObamaCare, which its own authors already describe as a ``train wreck.''
  But the House is working to dismantle this unworkable law, and we're 
taking another major step this week. We are introducing legislation 
that will prevent waste, fraud, and abuse in the distribution of 
ObamaCare subsidies.
  House Republicans will continue to work to protect Americans from the 
harmful effects of this law. It's all part of our plan to foster a 
strong economy and a more structured and secure future for all.
