On the recordFebruary 9, 2011
Thank you very much, Representative Clarke. Your passion for this issue was well displayed in that Detroit Chrysler advertisement. And I would just point out, before I turn back to Ms. Kaptur, that Chrysler and General Motors were saved as an American manufacturing icon by policies of President Barack Obama. It was his policies, supported by the Democrats in the House and the Senate, that allowed for the support that those two corporations needed to reinvent themselves so that there could be jobs in America. Now, Ms. Kaptur, you come from an area where manufacturing has been, really, the essence of the economy for a long time, and you have been supporting legislation and introducing legislation. Could you share with us those things that you are working on now and the legislation that you are pushing through this House?
