                  THE CLINTON REEMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1994

  (Ms. PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute, and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, since President Clinton took office, his 
economic policies have produced 6,000 new jobs a day. That is 6,000 new 
jobs a day, every day, including Saturdays and Sundays.
  Imagine the sigh of relief in the homes of America where people know 
they are going to be able to pay the rent, make the house payments, buy 
food, and meet the needs of their families. More, of course, needs to 
be done, and that is why I am proud to work under the leadership of 
Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro in promoting President Clinton's 
Reemployment Act of 1994, which will help even more workers make job 
connections.
  The Reemployment Act presents a comprehensive reemployment proposal 
that includes early intervention to prevent long-term unemployment 
through rapid response to mass layoffs, one-stop shopping that 
consolidates and streamlines access to career counseling information on 
jobs, training, unemployment insurance claims processing and other 
services, universal access to reemployment services for all workers 
seeking new or better jobs, individual reemployment plans worked out 
with career counselors to help workers find new jobs, and a national 
labor market information system.
  Mr. Speaker, the President's election gave us hope, his economic 
policies gave people confidence, and now his policies will give people 
jobs. We need again to pass the President's reemployment proposal in 
order to spread those jobs around.
