It is a rare privilege for me to be on the floor with her tonight. and it was a privilege for me to spend the last hour listening to the names of men and women who have given their lives so that we would have the opportunity to be here tonight and to state our views and debate and pass laws that will affect this country. But this evening I would like to commend the leadership of the Republicanled 109th Congress. which at its halfway point has been marked by major legislative achievement. The Democrats have responded to our partys ideas and vision with a lack of ideas and a lack of vision. They have continuously criticized the actions of the majority. but remain unwilling to put forward any constructive plan on Social Security. energy. or illegal immigration. I am proud of the many initiatives already passed by House Republicans this year to strengthen this great Nation. This includes class action reform.
