                             KERRY'S RECORD

  (Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. LINDA T. SANCHEZ of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in 
support of John Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, the only 
candidate who has a real plan to build a stronger, more secure America. 
John Kerry is committed to empowering our communities by creating good 
jobs, improving our public schools and increasing home ownership. John 
Kerry has the best combination of character, policymaking experience 
and national security credentials to get our neighborhoods and our 
country back on track.
  Back on track from what, one might ask? From a dismal GOP economic 
record. This administration's economic plan has created the worst job 
loss since President Hoover. A whopping 2.8 million jobs have 
disappeared since President Bush took office, including 1 million jobs 
that have been shipped overseas. Nevertheless, President Bush says our 
economy is strong. He should see how his economic plan has devastated 
hardworking families like in my home State of California where over 1 
million Californians are looking for work. Clearly we need new 
leadership in the White House that has a strategy to create jobs, 
revitalize our economy and help all working families realize their 
dreams. John Kerry is the man to do this.
