The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“STIMULUS PACKAGE SAVING AND CREATING JOBS IN CINCINNATI” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H9038 on July 29, 2009.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
STIMULUS PACKAGE SAVING AND CREATING JOBS IN CINCINNATI
(Mr. DRIEHAUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. DRIEHAUS. Mr. Speaker, if you want to see where the stimulus package is saving and creating jobs, come to Cincinnati.
Yesterday, the Department of Justice announced $17 million in grants for local law enforcement in my district. These grants will help local governments that are struggling to maintain services. But more than that, this funding is going to keep 66 full-time officers on the streets protecting the people of greater Cincinnati.
Some of my friends in this Chamber have said that the stimulus isn't working. Ask the 66 officers who will still have their jobs whether or not the stimulus is working. Ask their families. Ask people in the neighborhoods they are protecting.
Public safety matters, and the stimulus is working to keep our communities safe.
