                             WEEK IN REVIEW

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, some of the good news this week is my 
introduction, with 16 original cosponsors, of H. Res. 489, 
congratulating Texas Southern University for 88 years. TSU is 
celebrating their 88 years at their homecoming this weekend.
  TSU is a school that has graduated not only Barbara Jordan and Mickey 
Leland, but tens upon tens of great NFL football players. Tonight we 
will honor TSU. I pay tribute to Texas Southern University by 
introducing H. Res. 489.
  Unfortunately, there are some bad things that have happened. Let me 
cite H.R. 3762, the Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom 
Reconciliation Act, that cuts $278.2 billion in discretionary funding 
that would help many of our children and education and the environment 
and health care and, as well, providing, if you will, the cuts in the 
Affordable Care Act. I like the idea of the Cadillac tax provision, but 
that is not the basis of the bill. H.R. 3762 is a bad bill.
  Then, of course, there were 11 hours of testimony. What did we find 
in the Benghazi hearing? We found that Secretary Clinton could, in 
fact, present the facts to the American people and be transparent as we 
knew; but we found no new facts, no smoking gun. It is time to end the 
Benghazi hearings and committee.
