                        WE ARE GOING TO RECOVER

  (Ms. CASTOR of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Madam Speaker, the economic recovery plan 
signed by President Obama is saving and creating jobs all across the 
country. It was just signed into law 6 weeks ago, but millions of jobs 
are being created, including in my community in Tampa, Florida.
  Monday, in the Tampa Bay area, we announced that we are going to draw 
down over $3.5 million for our community health centers to hire new 
doctors, nurses, and medical professionals that will be able to serve 
more patients in an affordable way. This is happening all across our 
country.
  In addition, we expect additional dollars to put folks back to work 
constructing community health centers across this country in just a 
matter of weeks.

  The economic recovery plan is working. We are going to recover and 
America will be stronger than ever before.
