        STIMULUS PACKAGE SAVING AND CREATING JOBS IN CINCINNATI

  (Mr. DRIEHAUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DRIEHAUS. Mr. Speaker, if you want to see where the stimulus 
package is saving and creating jobs, come to Cincinnati.
  Yesterday, the Department of Justice announced $17 million in grants 
for local law enforcement in my district. These grants will help local 
governments that are struggling to maintain services. But more than 
that, this funding is going to keep 66 full-time officers on the 
streets protecting the people of greater Cincinnati.
  Some of my friends in this Chamber have said that the stimulus isn't 
working. Ask the 66 officers who will still have their jobs whether or 
not the stimulus is working. Ask their families. Ask people in the 
neighborhoods they are protecting.
  Public safety matters, and the stimulus is working to keep our 
communities safe.
