and to the presentation, mr. welch, if you could get some of those things on the ballot, as a planning commission we are not able to implement these kinds of mechanisms, but i would find them helpful, protested early in the concrete we are in -- particularly in the quandary we are in. those mechanisms would be helpful for this city to show what it can do. that would set an example for what other communities may consider, because they have so far stayed away from this discussion. icommissioner sugaya: this has been an informational presentation, so there is no action to be taken, but there are a number of recommendations from the cac, fairly specific, that i think the commission may want to look at and consider. at some point, have staph come back. we will have to discuss it first, and i am not sure how the way to do that. president olague: we would probably need another agenda item. to present another recommendation. we would have to have another calendared herring. >> we would be happy to follow- up with you. commissi

mr. welch. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. welch: any regulations not doing their job, that are imposing excessive burdens, let's change them. i agree with that, the president afrees with that, you're arguing that, and you're right. the american people want regulations limited to achieving legitimate goals and not imposing unnecessary burdens. second, an this is a question, why are we going to debate this? why substitute words for actions? the committee on energy and commerce and all the other committees that are being charged to act on this resolution are free to act and rather than have a discussion an debate about it, ask those committees to come in with what their specific recommendations are. let the house of representatives vote yes or no on any proposed action. but third, jobs. both sides have been saying we've got to focus on jobs. a couple of very good speeches, mr. murphy if pennsylvania mr. stearns of florida, we agree with that. why don't we dust off a prov
