The funds provided for dislocated workers are not enough to extend to all the unemployed in this category who are in need. It is my belief that Congress has taken only tiny steps toward attacking the overall problem of unemployment. There are many legislative initiatives and suggestions to aid unemployment and the economy: One. directing moneys toward laborintensive infrastructure needs. two. proposals protecting industry from imports. three. encouraging domestic exports. four. providing health insurance. five. emergency mortgage foreclosure assistance. six. proposals aiding education and immigration problemsbut there is an imminent danger that these policies may not be implemented if Congress loses sight of the fact that curing unemployment must remain our primary goal. And 44.300 unemployed citizens in the First District of Indiana is reprehensible. Our role as Members of Congress is to remedy that situation.
