Statement by the President on Unemployment Insurance
I commend the House of Representatives for passing an unemployment
insurance extension that will continue important additional assistance
for American workers as our economy recovers. Combined with action on
the Jobs and Growth package, Congress has taken important steps to help
America's unemployed workers. I also urge Congress to pass legislation
to create the innovative Re-employment Accounts I proposed to give
certain unemployed individuals additional benefits and incentives to
find work. I look forward to signing these measures into law.
