              WORK TOGETHER TO PUT AMERICANS BACK TO WORK

  (Mrs. MALONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago, the horror of 9/11 struck 
this great Nation. But in its aftermath I have never seen this Nation 
or this Congress so united and so determined to make sure that we 
protect our citizens and that it does not happen again. We came 
together with such a strong purpose.
  We need to come together again with a strong purpose behind the 
President's jobs proposal. Fourteen million Americans are out of work. 
He has a plan. Let's unify, let's work together, and let's put 
Americans back to work building our crumbling infrastructure, repairing 
our schools, investing in innovation, education, and working together. 
We did it after 9/11, that great crisis. We can do it again.
  The President has a plan. Let's get behind that plan. If the 
Republicans have a plan, then put it forth. Let's look at it. Let's 
work together and put Americans back to work.
