Gutierrez Statement on GDP

WASHINGTON—Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez today released the following statement on the final first quarter GDP data:

“Today’s GDP data sends a clear message that the President’s economic agenda is working. That’s why we must continue to build on the President’s agenda by passing the energy plan, reducing healthcare costs, opening new markets and making the tax cuts permanent. Implementing President Bush’s economic priorities will create the best conditions for job creation and a stronger environment for businesses to succeed.”
