                        REEMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1994

                                 ______


                         HON. DAN ROSTENKOWSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 16, 1994

  Mr. ROSTENKOWSKI. Mr. Speaker, today, I am pleased to introduce, at 
the request of the President, the Reemployment Act of 1994.
  During the past few years, Washington's response to the permanent job 
losses of many American workers was inadequate. Piecemeal programs were 
created for some workers, but not others. Unemployment benefits were 
extended, but too few new jobs where created.
  The President's reemployment bill emphasizes what an unemployed 
worker wants--a new job. If a worker needs more training, the bill will 
provide it, along with some additional income assistance. This will put 
American workers back to work sooner, and it will help place them in 
jobs required by new and emerging technologies.
  I strongly support the President's efforts in this area, and I look 
forward to working with him on this vital bill.
