10 loss of jobs and economic hardship in the United

11 States;
3

•HR 7 SC

1 (3) in addition to the problems resulting from

2 the recession, the general quality of life in cities and

3 other areas of the Nation has declined;

4 (4) reduced spending by the Federal Govern5 ment has caused severe economic problems for State

6 and local governments and has caused vital basic

7 needs, such as livable cities, towns, and rural com8 munities, to remain unaddressed;

9 (5) the Federal Government can promote eco10 nomic recovery in the United States by providing

11 State and local governments with much needed as12 sistance to address the basic needs of their citizens,

13 including decent and safe communities, streets, and

14 housing; and

15 (6) more than 22,000 jobs are created for every

16 $1,000,000,000 expended through construction con17 tracts.

18 (b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act, therefore,

19 is to provide needed emergency assistance to State and

20 local governments to enable them to better meet the needs

21 of their citizens, make their cities, towns, and rural com22 munities safer and more livable, and provide employment

23 opportunities to stimulate economic growth in the United

24 States.
