Remarks
I.
I am happy to sign this Supplemental Appropriation for
summer youth employment and recreation which contains
funding which I requested in March for critically needed
summer jobs for youth.
2.
Disadvantaged youth in our country are among the most
severely hurt by the current economic situation. Many of
them depend on summer jobs for the money they need to be
able to go back to school in the fall, and for the working
experience that helps prepare them for a productive life in
this society.
3.
This Resolution will finance about 840, 000 jobs for
disadvantaged youngsters this summer. It will also support
youth recreation and transportation programs in the coming
months.
4.
The immediate needs of our youth must be among our primary
concerns. Therefore, as I sign this Resolution, I am asking
the Secretary of Labor as well as the State and local program
sponsors to move at once to put these funds to work helping
our young people.
