I thank the gentlelady from Tennessee. I think it's been clear what's been laid out, the decision that should be made by President Obama. Unfortunately, he continues to drag his feet, tries to punt on this issue; but ultimately a decision's going to have to be made if we're going to be able to get those 20,000 jobs here in America or whether or not they're going to go to China, who's also asking for them.

Under the Speaker's announced policy of January 5, 2011, the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Harper) is recognized for the remainder of the hour.
