    Statement on House of Representatives Action on the Budget Resolution
    March 21, 2003

        As we engage in action to ensure freedom and security, it is
    imperative that we stay focused on important domestic priorities,
    including creating jobs and strengthening economic growth at home. With
    passage of the budget resolution, the House has spoken clearly that
    future economic growth and job creation requires passing the bold plan
    that I proposed. I commend the House for its timely action and look
    forward to working with Congress to ensure that we fund our priorities,
    enact policies to spur growth, and restrain spending.
