                       PASS THE AMERICAN JOBS ACT

  (Mr. AL GREEN of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AL GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it's time for this House to act 
on the American Jobs Act. It not only makes good sense, it makes 
dollars and cents for businesses. Businesses that hire persons who have 
been looking for work for more than 6 months will get a $4,000 tax 
credit. If that person happens to be a veteran, it becomes $5,600. If 
that veteran happens to have a disability that is service connected, it 
becomes $9,600.
  It's time to act on the American Jobs Act. It makes good sense. It 
also makes good dollars and cents for business.
