                    ISSUES CONGRESS NEEDS TO ADDRESS

  (Mr. SCHRADER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHRADER. Mr. Speaker, I rise deeply disappointed in Congress 
this week. There are real issues that Congress needs to address for the 
American people. But instead of addressing the long-term issues of 
comprehensive immigration reform, comprehensive tax reform, our debt 
and deficit, getting our economy going, we are considering suing the 
President of the United States and beating the drum of impeachment.
  Where were my Republican colleagues when President Bush was issuing 
his egregious executive orders? The hypocrisy here is appalling.
  We need to provide long-term funding for the highway trust fund, the 
Export-Import Bank to keep the American businesses competitive, Federal 
education programs to prepare our people and children for the next 
generation and workforce. We need to pass a long-term solution for our 
doctors. We need to provide funding to address the wildfires that are 
ravaging the Western United States, including my home State of Oregon. 
We need to get the unregulated amount of money out of politics.
  We need to get back to work.
