                WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, the House is back in session to continue our 
work, but millions of hardworking Americans still find it difficult to 
get those good-paying jobs to keep their American Dreams alive.
  Small businesses, responsible for two-thirds of all new jobs created 
in our economy, continue to struggle to stay afloat. That is why the 
House must pass pro-jobs legislation to provide economic opportunities 
for all Americans to succeed.
  As you know, Mr. Speaker, we have passed 40 bills that reduce red 
tape for businesses, lower electric bills for American families, cut 
regulatory burdens, and reform the Tax Code. Sadly, these bills are 
held up in the Senate.
  Now, we can continue to help hardworking Americans by passing the 
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act--bipartisan legislation that 
promotes needed job skills training for high-demand jobs, streamlines 
burdensome Federal mandates, reduces administrative costs and 
unnecessary bureaucracy, and provides more accountability when spending 
tax dollars.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to 
support this commonsense legislation. These are the kinds of pro-
growth, pro-jobs bills the American people expect from their Congress.
