                       WORKING FOR ALL OF AMERICA

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, the President is going to address 
this House and this country with great enthusiasm about the work that 
he has done with his Cabinet, Democratic Members of Congress, and 
others who have worked with him to make America better.
  He will be able to report that 3 million Americans have enrolled in 
the Affordable Care Act, giving suffering Americans with preexisting 
conditions the opportunity for good health care. He will be able to 
acknowledge that people like Mrs. Aguilar would be better off if States 
like Texas would have expanded the Medicare coverage. Her children are 
covered, but she is not. We are committed to working to make sure that 
that happens.
  He will be able to say that he stands on the side of extending the 
unemployment for working Americans--those who have worked and now are 
unemployed, and yes, he will be able to say that it is important that 
we invest in the infrastructure.
  It is important to note that America is great, as we watch our 
soldiers in foreign lands wearing the uniform with pride.
  We must invest in the American people. Food stamps, which are now 
given mostly to working Americans, are an investment, and the President 
can be optimistic and work for all of America.
