Today we are going to have a very important vote. Yesterday, under suspension, we debated H.R. 3759, and I ask my colleagues to pay attention to this bill. It is the Exports, Jobs, and Growth Act. It adds $38 billion in exports. It adds some 123,000 new American jobs, and it cuts the deficit by $600 million. Fifteen unions have endorsed this legislation, business has endorsed this legislation, people all across America are asking for this bill. With all the emphasis today on the negative things in politics, let us do something positive for America. Let us vote for H.R. 3759 when it comes up today.
