BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge President Obama to
work with Republicans in this new Congress.

After being sworn in last week, we immediately got to work voting on
legislation to boost job creation, provide relief from ObamaCare,
increase America's energy security, and create more job opportunities
for veterans. All these bills passed with strong bipartisan support.
Yet for some reason the President has already said he will veto at
least two of them.

Mr. Speaker, building the Keystone pipeline will put Americans back
to work and help secure our energy future. Restoring ObamaCare's
definition of full-time employment from 30 hours to 40 hours will
increase take-home pay for hourly workers.

Mr. Speaker, we are here to solve problems and deliver positive
results for the American people. For the good of America, I hope the
President will put down his veto pen and join us in that effort.
