WE ARE GOING TO RECOVER -- (House of Representatives - April 01, 2009)

(Ms. CASTOR of Florida asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)

Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Madam Speaker, the economic recovery plan signed by President Obama is saving and creating jobs all across the country. It was just signed into law 6 weeks ago, but millions of jobs are being created, including in my community in Tampa, Florida.

Monday, in the Tampa Bay area, we announced that we are going to draw down over $3.5 million for our community health centers to hire new doctors, nurses, and medical professionals that will be able to serve more patients in an affordable way. This is happening all across our country.

In addition, we expect additional dollars to put folks back to work constructing community health centers across this country in just a matter of weeks.

The economic recovery plan is working. We are going to recover and America will be stronger than ever before.
