We began by passing a recovery act that has already saved or created over 150,000 jobs and provided a tax cut to 95 percent of all working families.

Before we begin tonight, I just want to provide everyone with a few brief updates on some of the challenges we're dealing with right now.įirst, we are continuing to closely monitor the emergency cases of the H1N1 flu virus throughout the United States.
