On the recordJuly 10, 2001
Yes, my good friend is correct. We are now having to make some very, very difficult choices--really impossible choices--because the pot of resources we are working with is too small. And you have correctly stated both what the committee has done as well as the committee's strong support for the job training program for dislocated workers under the Workforce Investment Act. Our intent is to carefully monitor the need for dislocated worker assistance to ensure that this commitment is met and to take that need into account as we take up funding for fiscal year 2002.
