  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, President Obama was in my home State of 
Pennsylvania recently to tour a business and talk about the importance 
of American manufacturing.
  If the President is serious, let me give him a few suggestions on 
things he can do right now--call for the quick passage of the Made in 
America Act to establish an official American-made standard; announce 
his support for a bipartisan plan to address the skills gap; use his 
pen to approve the Keystone XL pipeline; and truly take steps towards 
an all-of-the-above American energy policy that drives down energy 
costs for everyone; and increase pressure on the Senate to move on the 
dozens of House-passed jobs bills that will grow our economy, increase 
stability, and empower businesses and employees.
  Mr. Speaker, simply put, Americans are tired of talk. Now is the time 
for bold action to help manufacturers, working families, and our 
Nation--politics aside.
