foxx, mayor foxx, it's good to have you with us.it's good that you took the time to meet with me, and certainly as the mayor of a city, i certainly have an affinity for people who have served locally. local highway transportation commissions as well as transit organizations, so your footprint and your involvement in local transportation needs is impressive. a couple of questions that come to the national level, to the federal surface, would be one that has to do with the process that some states are going through, north carolina perhaps being one of the leading states, as it relates to tolling interstates. i will tell you that from my perspective, tolling i-95 would be a disaster for a couple reasons. number one, i think it would transfer ports of the transportation routes to secondary roads that may not be as safe, and second, i think because they're not as safe it will actually raise concerns as it relates to transportation on those secondary roads. so my question to you really is, what is your position on the plan north carolina

foxx: thank you, madam speaker. it's hard to raise a family and earn a living at the same time. the reality is that every hour you spend working to provide for your family is an hour you can't spend with your family. for nearly 30 years, federal, state and local government employees have been able to choose paid time off or comp time instead of cash wages as compensation for working overtime hours. federal law prohibits employees in the private sector from having the same option. it's time to put an end to this double standard. private sector employees deserve the same flexibility, and that is why republicans have introduced h.r. 1406, the working families flexibility act, and that bill deserves our support. we will vote shortly on the rule for that and tomorrow on the bill. and madam speaker, i urge all my colleagues to vote for fairness for the private sector and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from hawaii seek recognition? without objection

foxx: mr. speaker, for nearly 30 years government employees have had the option to choose paid time off or comp time in lieu of overtime pay. private sector employees, however, haven't had that choice, because washington and on old 1938 labor law won't let them. that isn't fair. when life happens in the form of school plays, little league games or family members becoming sick, time and flexibility are essential to working parents and grandparents. money doesn't buy time. it would certainly help if every worker had the choice to receive comp time when they put in extra hours. government shouldn't be standing in the way. there are a lot of moms and a few grandmas in the republican caucus, and we want a solution for american families. that solution is the working families flexibility act. our legislation will ensure all workers, whether public or private, benefit from the flexibility of choices in overtime compensation. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman fro

foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. job-killers win, american workers lose. nfrl union of rs north america, a rare critic of the administration, summed up the president's 2011 call to block the keystone x.l. pipeline. the move, they said, would inflict a potentially fatal delay to a project that is not just a pipeline but is a lifeline for thousands of desperate working men and women. and what of america's energy needs and diplomatic priorities? by cutting off access to north american oil, it is american consumers who will continue to suffer. not the canadian companies seeking to permit the keystone pipeline. transcanada's chief executive noted, quote, if keystone x.l. dies, americans will still wake up the next morning and continue to import 10 million barrels of oil from repressive nations without the benefit of thousands of jobs and long-term energy security, end quote. when jobs and affordable north american energy is at stake, americans deserve better than groundless delays from the president. let's build a pipeline today. i yield back. the speaker pro t

foxx guy is calling it a national day of reason. what's going on there? >> well, i'm not sure.ch attendance. clearly he's not running for reelection since he's up for transportation secretary. but you know, gk chesterton said the doctrine of original sin is the only one in which we have 3 1/2 thousand years of impeercal evidence to back up. clearly we need faith as a component and it's just silly for us to say otherwise. you know, the age of enlightenment and reason gave way to moral relativism and moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the holocaust. i saw -- i just got back from jerusalem where i saw the holocaust museum there where there was thousands and thousands of shoes of little children who died in that 1 1/2 million. dark periods of history is what we arrive at when we leave god out of the equation. >> steve: we should point out that this national day of reason was created by the american humanist association, an atheist organization. it was created to raise awareness about government threats to religious liberty and to up the profile of the

foxx: thank you, mr. speaker.it's been almost five years since the application to build the keystone x.l. pipeline was filed. it's also been almost five years that americans have been waiting for the jobs and energy security the keystone would provide. how much longer will president obama make us wait? american families expect our government to pursue the least expensive, most reliable necessaryic energy. . on both fronts, president obama's choice to see to environmental special interests and block the keystone x.l. in 2011 did the opposite. it denied thousands of jobless americans the chance at high-paying work and blocked the direct connection between refineries in texas and affordable energy in canada. but what's more audacious about the president's economically indefensible action is the fact that it is groundless. the president's own state department concluded, quote, no significant, end quote, environmental damage would be caused by keystone's completion. the keystone pipeline has jobs to offer. why is the p

foxx: thank you, mr. speaker. what was obamacare's central claim?he affordable care act as it was termed by president obama was supposed to make health care more affordable for the american people. many who believe that claim, however, now have buyers remorse. obamacare was to help save families $2,500 on their health care premiums. but that's not true. family premiums have increased $3,000 since 2008. even workers who make $25,000 a year will pay more for health care because of obamacare. young people struggling to pay off debt and find careers in this jobless economy could see their health premiums rise by as much as $1 -- as much as 189%. in spite of lowesty promises, health insurance costs are higher. studies have found that obamacare will make health care premiums less affordable by the time it's implemented. it delivered a true train wreck to the american people. it's time to repeal obamacare and all its broken promises once and for all. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentle
