Weekly
Address: President Obama Calls for Real Health Care Reform
The President makes clear that as Congress works through health
care reform legislation, it must include fundamental changes
that lower costs, ensure Americans have choices, and establish
access to quality, affordable health care for all Americans.
But what we cant welcome, the President says, is reform that
just invests more money in the status quo reform that throws
good money after bad habits.

WEEKLY
ADDRESS: President Obama Outlines Goals for Health Care Reform
WASHINGTON – In his weekly address, President Barack Obama
described his goals for fixing our broken health care system.
With skyrocketing costs threatening fiscal collapse, real reform
that provides quality, affordable health care for every American
is a necessity that cannot wait. To do this, reform must be built
on lowering costs, improving quality, and protecting consumer
choice so people who are happy with their coverage can keep it.

AGRICULTURE SECRETARY VILSACK OPENS
2009 USDA FARMERS MARKET SEASON
WASHINGTON, June 5, 2008-Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack today opened the 14th season of the USDA Farmers
Market season with a ceremony at USDA Headquarters. The USDA
Farmers Market features farmers from Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia selling their locally grown produce and other items.
The market is open to the public and will operate every Friday
through October, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at USDA Headquarters
on 12th St. and Independence Ave. SW, Washington, D.C.
"One of USDA's top priorities is to
encourage eating fresh - and locally grown - fruits and vegetables,"
Vilsack said. "At farmers markets, especially during the
summer months, these are abundantly available."
The site of the USDA Farmers Market is
adjacent to "The People's Garden," which Vilsack broke
ground on earlier this year. "The People's Garden"
is a vegetable garden on USDA property that recently was expanded
to include sustainable landscaping for the entire grounds. Starting
on May 21 and each week since, USDA has harvested and donated
more than thirty 10-gallon bags of romaine, butter, red and green
leaf lettuce, mixed greens of arugula, red and green chard as
well as spinach, along with boxes of radishes, cilantro and sugar
snap peas to the DC Central Kitchen. The DC Central Kitchen offers
job training in culinary and food service skills to DC's homeless,
which has received unsold food donations from the USDA Farmer's
Market since 1996.
A USDA domestic and international initiative,
"The Peoples Garden" will help illustrate the many
ways USDA works to provide a sustainable, safe and nutritious
food supply as well as protect and preserve the landscape where
that food is produced. It is designed to provide a sampling of
USDA's efforts throughout the world as well as teach others how
to nurture, maintain and protect a healthy landscape. The garden
concepts that USDA is practicing serves as a living example of
how to provide healthy food, air and water for people and communities
as well as food and shelter for wildlife, while improving soil
health and water quality.
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)
posts a comprehensive list of farmers markets on its Web site
at http://apps.ams.usda.gov/FarmersMarkets.
The National Directory of Farmers Markets currently lists more
than 4,700 farmers markets, up from about 4,400 only three years
ago. The number and popularity of farmers markets continue to
increase as more and more Americans discover their many benefits.
Farmers markets, an important alternative marketing outlet for
farmers and food producers, offer consumers greater access to
locally grown, farm-fresh produce. Farmers markets also offer
consumers the opportunity to interact with local farmers and
producers.
Additional information about "The
People's Garden" is available at www.usda.gov/peoplesgarden

Hoyer Commemorates the 65th Anniversary
of D-Day
WASHINGTON, DC - House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement in recognition
of tomorrow's 65th anniversary of D-Day:
“Sixty five years ago tomorrow, American, British, Canadian,
and Free French forces launched the amphibious invasion of Normandy
and the campaign that would liberate Europe from Nazi domination.
Before the invasion, General Dwight Eisenhower wrote to the troops,
‘The eyes of the world are upon you...I have full confidence
in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.’
That confidence was well-placed: the veterans of D-Day, both
those who lived and who lost their lives on the beaches, left
a legacy of courage that endures and inspires to this day. Let
us take a moment tomorrow to honor them, and to thank our troops
who still serve in harm’s way today and proudly carry that
legacy forward.”

Remarks
of Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden at the Compliance Week
Keynote Address
Thu, 04 Jun 2009 09:00:00 -0500
The current financial crisis requires a well-coordinated, proactive
law enforcement response that draws on all the resources of the
federal government. The appropriate role of the Department of
Justice in responding to this crisis is clear: We will be relentless
in our investigation of corporate wrongdoing, and will not hesitate
to bring charges, where appropriate, for criminal misconduct
on the part of businesses and business executives.

Hoyer Statement on Jobs Numbers
WASHINGTON, DC - House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after
jobs numbers were announced for May:
“May’s job losses were down dramatically,
a sign that the economic recovery policy put in place by President
Obama and the Democratic Congress appears to be starting to work.
To be sure, our economy is still in for hard times: 345,000 jobs
were lost last month, and this is a time of personal hardship
for every American out of work. But it is also important to remember
that the number of lost jobs is the lowest since the beginning
of the financial crisis last September—in other words, it
is a sign that we are moving in the right direction.
