Gutierrez Statement on House Passage of Economic Stimulus Plan
Washington (Jan. 29)—Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez released the following statement on the House passage of the economic stimulus package: “While our economy continues to grow, we are clearly facing some economic headwinds. The bipartisan economic growth plan advanced by President Bush and Congressional leaders will provide an economic “booster shot,” and help us continue to grow our economy, put money in the hands of consumers and create jobs. I congratulate Speaker Pelosi and Republican Leader Boehner for moving so quickly to pass a package that is broad-based, temporary and effective—and without raising taxes on Americans.” (More)
