URGING THE PRESIDENT TO WORK WITH REPUBLICANS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS FOR THE 
                            AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. WALBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge President Obama to 
work with Republicans in this new Congress.
  After being sworn in last week, we immediately got to work voting on 
legislation to boost job creation, provide relief from ObamaCare, 
increase America's energy security, and create more job opportunities 
for veterans. All these bills passed with strong bipartisan support. 
Yet for some reason the President has already said he will veto at 
least two of them.
  Mr. Speaker, building the Keystone pipeline will put Americans back 
to work and help secure our energy future. Restoring ObamaCare's 
definition of full-time employment from 30 hours to 40 hours will 
increase take-home pay for hourly workers.
  Mr. Speaker, we are here to solve problems and deliver positive 
results for the American people. For the good of America, I hope the 
President will put down his veto pen and join us in that effort.
