On the recordJune 3, 2004
my constituents write each week telling me about jobs that are being outsourced, asking me what is Congress doing about it. They are amazed and they are outraged that our President can support this policy, when over 1 million Californians are out of work. I understand their concerns, especially when the Bush administration recently awarded a massive $10 billion government contract to Accenture, a company incorporated in Bermuda, when two American-based companies actually bid for the contract. They also know that the President used outsourced workers in India to make phone calls for his Presidential campaign. All of this, Mr. Speaker, when 8.4 million people are out of work nationwide. Outsourcing is bad economic policy, and I urge the House leadership to address this issue immediately.
