                         JOBS--OUR TIME TO LEAD

  (Mr. HALL of New York asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HALL of New York. I rise today to talk about the Nation's 
unemployment problem. There are people in my district who are 
struggling. They want to work; they know how to work. Many of them are 
highly skilled and have great ideas, but they cannot find a job. It is 
our job, Madam Speaker, to help them.
  In the 19th District of New York last Saturday, I sponsored two job 
fairs that helped hundreds of people connect with resources and people 
who can help them. Among them was 65-year-old George Myrnyj of Sparrow 
Bush. George retired last year from a career in manufacturing, but he 
still wants and needs to work. He has an idea for packaging do-it-
yourself solar panel kits. Last Saturday, he was able to connect with 
people he thinks can help him.
  Madam Speaker, I submit that it is our job to help George find a way 
to realize his dream and find a job or create one. This is not a time 
to do nothing. It is our time to lead.
