That kind of legislation is the type of policy we ought to be pushing forward here, one that rewards American corporations that are actually making things in America and employing Americans. I'm going to turn to our minority whip in just a moment, but this Make It in America slogan was created by Steny Hoyer, and there are about six, seven different policies, some of which we have already covered. We haven't talked about trade yet, but tax policy, which is what you just brought forward, a tax incentive for corporations to be good citizens here. Mr. Tonko talked about energy policy. Labor, certainly that's part of what you talked about; education, which we haven't yet covered; intellectual property, which is, in fact, that research agenda; and the infrastructure. These are all elements of the Make It in America agenda. Mr. Hoyer, this is your concept of using this term ``Make It in America.'' Would you share with us where we are today with this whole agenda and how things are moving along.
