President Commends House for Passing Economic Security Package
Statement by the President
I commend the House of Representatives for its leadership in
passing an economic security package that will help workers and get our
economy growing. This bipartisan plan will help ensure that
workers have access to health care and unemployment benefits, that new
jobs will be created, and that people will have more money in their
pockets. For the sake of America's workers, I call on the
Senate to act now on this plan, which can pass the Senate with a
bipartisan majority if it is brought up for a vote. If this bipartisan
bill gets to my desk, I will sign it.
