                        DETROIT JOBS TRUST FUND

  (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. The Detroit Jobs Trust Fund will create jobs 
for Detroiters. And we definitely need it. Metro Detroit has lost more 
jobs over the last 10 years than any other metropolitan area in the 
country.
  But as the fighting spirit of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Lions 
demonstrates, we've got to fight to help this country compete and win 
any battle for jobs around the world. So my message is this: if you 
want to create more manufacturing jobs here in the U.S., then invest in 
Detroit.
