Louis Stokes: “Summer jobs program is in the rescission cuts, comes out of the Labor, Health, Human Services, and Education…”

On the recordMarch 14, 1995
Summer jobs program is in the rescission cuts, comes out of the Labor, Health, Human Services, and Education Subcommittee on Appropriations. All the summer jobs were cut. This is going to put an enormous amount of young people on our streets, particularly at a time when we are already encountering a great deal of unemployment in our inner cities and where, within the next 2 months, the mayors of these cities must get ready to provide these jobs for these young people during the summer months, and that is one of the programs that is just totally unconscionable to see that the youth of this Nation who depended upon summer jobs will not be provided them this summer if these rescissions prevail here in the House.
