                        US STATE OF THE UNION (3rd add)

   President Obama asked Congress to restore unemployment insurance for
   more than 1.6 million people looking for work.
   Congress let the funds run out late last year. Mr. Obama said he is
   convinced that reforming the unemployment insurance program can help
   Americans return to the work force faster.
   Mr. Obama said he has asked Vice President Joe Biden to lead a reform
   of job training programs to make sure Americans have the skill
   employers need, and to match workers to good jobs that need to be
   filled immediately.
   He also called on the heads of large corporations to give long-term
   unemployed Americans what he called a "fair shot" at a new job.
   The president again called on Congress to make high-quality pre-school
   education available to young children and ease the burden on those who
   he said feel trapped by student loan debt.
