                   JOB LOSSES DUE TO HEALTH CARE BILL

  (Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California. Mr. Speaker, I just returned 
from my district, where I had an interesting meeting with people 
representing one of my companies, that is one of the companies in my 
district that employs hundreds of people.
  They told me that as a direct result of the passage of the health 
care bill and the reconciliation package they have laid off 75 people. 
Hundreds of jobs are in jeopardy. Why? Because they happen to work for 
a company called The Ed. Fund, a private sector firm that facilitated 
the availability of college, yes, loans. Thirty-one thousand people in 
this industry are in jeopardy of losing their jobs because we decided 
we needed to nationalize that industry.
  It's not only the wrongheaded approach to the health care problem, 
it's an anti-stimulus, anti-job bill. Seventy-five jobs already lost in 
my district, hundreds in jeopardy, thousands across this Nation. Thank 
you very much, U.S. Congress.
