The economic development administration has create jobs where they're most needed.
in economically distressed communities.
EDA works with business
universities and leaders at the local level so it creates jobs from the bottom
up.
This helps manufacturers producers compete in the global marketplace,
and it's a great investment every dollar from EDA, as I've indicated tracks seven
dollars in private-sector investment.
That's a pretty good return,
because of this agency success, and because each senator is on record
talking about the merits of this bill
Democrats, Republicans, alike.
So this is a kind of bill should pass on a bipartisan basis, if not unanimously,
and it has passed in the past unanimously.
In the past
that's what would happen we wouldn't be... we would have done this so quickly,
and no more now we find ourselves struggling just to bring it up for a
vote. So I'm going to continued to work with Republican leader;
hopefully, find a way to complete action on this extremely important bill,
but it seems so far
to be a neverending process. It's filibuster by a amendment,
amendment, after amendment
on amendments that have nothing to do with the legislation.
We can't continue this, this process has to end so we can pass this bill, but the
private sector create jobs American people need and let the Senate move on
to other pressing matters.
