Treasury Officials to Travel to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona to Discuss Economic Growth

Treasury Officials will travel to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona this week to discuss President Bush's agenda for a strong and vibrant economy.  

"There is a lot of very good news to talk about when it comes to the American economy. We're growing at a steady pace, and the benefits of that economic growth are touching more Americans every day. From record levels of home ownership to the creation of four and a half million new jobs, the economic news continues to paint a clear picture: that the opportunities created by lower taxes and sound monetary policy have helped the American economy grow and maintain its position as the envy of the world," said Secretary John Snow.
