                         UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to urge our Republican 
leadership to immediately renew the emergency unemployment insurance 
that expired December 28. It affects 1.3 million families. Failing to 
extend the emergency unemployment insurance will cost the economy some 
240,000 jobs this month.
  You see, I believe you can extend the emergency unemployment 
insurance and grow the economy at the same time. These families depend 
on it to put a roof over their head, to feed and take care of their 
families.
  In my district in Ohio, there are 26,000 individuals unemployed. I 
say let's work together as Democrats and Republicans and make a 
difference for the families who count on us.
