                    ROLLING BACK FEDERAL REGULATIONS

  (Mr. BUCSHON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a rebounding 
community in the Eighth District of Indiana.
  Sullivan County, Indiana, is located in central western Indiana, 
along the Wabash River. It is home to roughly 21,000 proud, hardworking 
Hoosiers. The local economy relies on manufacturing and the coal and 
transportation industries.
  In the first 6 months of this new administration, we have worked with 
the Trump administration to roll back the aggressive, job-killing 
Federal regulations of the last 8 years that have devastated this area 
of the country. The agenda we have set forth of less regulation and 
lower taxes is breathing life into our local economies and communities 
like Sullivan, Indiana.
  As of May 2017, the unemployment rate in Sullivan County is at a 27-
year low, sitting at 3.3 percent. Just a year ago, the unemployment was 
7 percent.
  Mr. Speaker, as we continue to work on behalf of the American people, 
I am hopeful this trend continues.
