                          TANF REAUTHORIZATION

  (Mr. DAVIS of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as we approach the 
reauthorization of TANF, let us be mindful of the fact that 75 percent 
of all new jobs are created in suburban communities, outside large 
inner cities. If we are to be successful with moving people from 
welfare to work, then we must make sure that there is adequate money, 
resources for transportation, so that the people can get from where 
there are virtually no jobs to where the jobs are.
  Mr. Speaker, let us make sure that transportation is a part of TANF 
reauthorization so that people can get from welfare to where the jobs 
are.
