                           WHERE'S THE BEEF?

  (Ms. HANABUSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. HANABUSA. Mr. Speaker, about 15 years ago, there was a commercial 
that is really applicable to today. It was about a woman who looked 
through hamburger buns and asked, ``Where's the beef?'' The American 
people are asking us, Where's the jobs?
  We managed to survive and avoid the Great Depression of this century. 
Let me tell you, Mr. Speaker, what we need to do to continue with our 
recovery is to build public confidence. The only way we are going to 
build that public confidence is for people to feel that we are looking 
at what is so essential to their futures, so essential to the building 
of their confidence back in themselves and in government, and that is 
the creation of jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, I believe all Members of this Congress must look to 
that. We must get down and address jobs. That is what we are here to 
do. That is what we need to do, or we will have failed the people who 
have sent us here.
