Statement by U.S. Commerce Secretary Don Evans On National Bureau of Economic Research Announcement

Washington, DC - (The National Bureau of Economic Research today announced it has determined that the U.S. economy is in recession.)

"The American people don't need a bunch of academics to tell them times are tough. They are living with this downturn everyday. With the Christmas season upon us, the leadership of the United States Senate needs to act. It is time to turn the President's proposal for economic relief into a reality."
