For Immediate Release April 24, 1993
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Today I have signed into law H.R. 1335, the "Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations" Act of 1993. This Act provides
$4 billion in emergency unemployment compensation to
approximately 1.9 million unemployed American workers. This
critical assistance will help the unemployed and their families
with grocery bills, mortgage payments and other expenses while
they seek new employment. I am disappointed that the job-
producing elements of the original version of the legislation
were forced to be removed from it.
Our efforts to create jobs, increase investment, and
safeguard our communities and our children, were frustrated
by the use of parliamentary tactics in the Senate in the
furtherance of politics-as-usual. The losers, in the end,
were jobless Americans looking for the dignity of employment,
and communities across the United States looking forward to
meeting unmet national needs through growth-oriented efforts
provided by the legislation in its original form. It is my
hope that the Congress will consider further legislation to
produce the jobs that are needed to strengthen and sustain the
current economic recovery.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON
THE WHITE HOUSE,
April 23, 1993.
