I think every member of our committee would agree that creating jobs should be our committee's number one priority.

I think we would make a much more responsive contribution if we submit one together, with recommendations on which we all can agree.

We need to find common ground; we need to focus on concrete proposals and we need to pass them now.

These are exactly the kinds of bipartisan constructive initiatives our committee and Congress should support.
