Transcript of Pelosi, House Democratic Leaders, and Economists’ Press Conference Following Economic Forum
Speaker Pelosi. “Mr. Oberstar has left. Mr. Oberstar made a big pitch for that. Mr. Obey was with us for a long time, for the whole time, and he has an array of initiatives that — we have asked each of the Committee Chairs months ago to give us in their legislation, initiatives that had the most jobs created in the fastest period of time. And so he had an array of initiatives that he brought to me last night, some of which we discussed today.
So of course, we would use the appropriations cycle, we will use the Ways and Means Committee and we have used the budget legislation as well as the authorizations of energy, education and health care to create jobs.”
