Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this jobs bill because this legislation would provide summer jobs for hundreds of thousands of young people, keep unemployment checks coming, provide money for small businesses, keep jobs at home in America.

It also will provide hope for those who have almost given up, wondering where their next work opportunity will come from. And, of course, it provides an opportunity for us to more adequately compensate our doctors.

Doctors are an integral part of health care delivery, and there ought not be any reason for senior citizens not to get the services that they need because we're not paying our doctors.

This is a job-creating, services-providing bill. I strongly support it and urge its passage.
