Floor Speech
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Chairman McDermott for yielding. I also want to commend the Senate for its work.
I simply rise in support of this legislation. It will provide an opportunity certainly for individuals who are unemployed to continue to receive unemployment compensation, and it will indeed help stimulate the economy by allowing individuals credits for the first time if they are purchasing a home.
It is good legislation. I am pleased to support it and urge that all Members do so.
