                   OUR ECONOMY IS COMING BACK TO LIFE

  (Mr. OLVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLVER. Mr. Speaker, across the country the economy is coming back 
to life, good news after that long, hard, Bush recession.
  More jobs have been created in the last 16 months than in the 
previous 4 years combined, inflation is low, the deficit has been cut 
in half, the unemployment rate has dropped steadily.
  Even in my district of western and central Massachusetts, that 
traditionally lags in recovering from recession, the economy is picking 
up steam.
  And this House should take pride in contributing to these improved 
conditions.
  But, Mr. Speaker, it is not enough.
  We must now work for a health care system that is always there for 
every citizen, not just a privilidged few, and for job training that 
works by getting people back to work.
  Let us capitalize on the growth of our economy and help Americans 
become more secure in their jobs, their health, their futures.
