Frank Pallone: “the other problem that we have too, which we really did not dwell on…”

On the recordJanuary 7, 2003

the other problem that we have too, which we really did not dwell on too much but I think it is important, is that it really was disgraceful that the Republicans, who are in the majority, with the President went home after December 28 and the people that did not have their unemployment compensation just ran out. Mr. DeFAZIO. Mr. Speaker, 28,000 people in my State alone saw an end to their unemployment benefits in the week between Christmas and New Year. Happy New Year from the Federal Government.
