               REEMPLOYMENT ACT--ONE-STOP CAREER CENTERS

  (Mr. HOYER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the President's 
Reemployment Act and the one-stop career centers which are a critical 
provision.
  These centers will provide all Americans--not just the unemployed--
with an incredible amount of information on labor markets, training 
programs, job counseling, and job benefits.
  In addition to providing benefits to a larger group of Americans, 
one-stop career centers will eliminate much of the bureaucracy which 
often saps the energy and drive of people looking for work. Under 
current programs, too many people spend their time moving from agency 
to agency, line to line.
  One-stop centers simplify this process, so workers expend their 
energy using these programs instead of applying for them.
  These centers are a simple idea which will hot-wire Americans into 
job markets and training opportunities. Let us keep Americans working: 
Support the Reemployment Act and its one-stop career centers.
