Pryce: Economy is Moving on Schedule

Washington, D.C. – House Republican Conference Chairman Deborah Pryce (R-OH-15) made the following statement today regarding the Commerce Department’s announcement that the economy grew by four percent in the fourth quarter of 2003: 

“Following one of the strongest quarters in almost 20 years, our economy proved that its growth is long-term and stable.  The jobs and stimulus programs Congress passed in 2001 and 2003 were not political quick-fixes, but sound policy for growing our economy in the long-run and getting Americans back on the job. 

“Our economy is as strong as it’s been since 2000, before the terror attacks that crippled it.  Its resilience is a testament to the strength of the American people coupled with solid, pro-growth policies.   

Congresswoman Pryce represents the Fifteenth District of Ohio, which includes Western Franklin County, Madison, and Union Counties.  She serves as Chairman of the House Republican Conference for the 108th Congress, making her the fourth ranking member of House Leadership.
