                     RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT

  (Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONNOLLY of Virginia. Madam Speaker, of course what we've just 
heard is nonsense. If my friends on the other side of the aisle had had 
their way in the worst economic recession in 80 years, which was on 
their watch, they would have done nothing.
  As a matter of fact, a Republican economist, Mark Zandi, said, but 
for the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, we would have gone into a great 
depression.
  And that's just the way it is.
