                    DETROIT GROWTH AND STABILITY ACT

  (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. Mr. Speaker, today I will introduce the 
Detroit Growth and Stability Act, which will provide up to $500 million 
in loans to the city of Detroit.
  I am asking this House, this Congress, and this administration to 
give Detroit, the arsenal of democracy, a second chance--a second 
chance to build the best products, a second chance to create the best 
technologies that could be sold worldwide which will create jobs, jobs 
not only for southeastern Michigan--because our city and our suburbs 
are linked together--but also jobs throughout this country.
  You see, the best way that we can renew America's economy, the most 
effective way, is to help rebuild Detroit. I urge your support for this 
important legislation.
