                           INVEST IN DETROIT

  (Mr. CLARKE of Michigan asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLARKE of Michigan. Madam Speaker, I offer this Congress and this 
country a simple, yet powerful, way to create new, good-paying 
manufacturing jobs in the United States, and that's by investing in 
Detroit, by allowing the tax dollars that Detroiters pay to be invested 
back in Detroit; invested to help make the streets of Detroit safer, to 
help improve Detroit schools, to help train Detroiters for jobs, to 
help rebuild our city.
  You see, this type of investment will definitely create jobs in 
Detroit. But more importantly, Detroit's manufacturing know-how, our 
trained workforce, investing in Detroit will help put Americans back to 
work. So by helping put Detroiters back to work, you're going to help 
put this country back to work.
