                  LET US KEEP ECONOMIC GROWTH ON TRACK

  (Mr. DREIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DREIER. Mr. Speaker, the news just out this morning of slower 
than anticipated productivity and higher than expected inflation 
demonstrates that we need to do something to ensure that we keep 
economic growth on track.
  Last December 15 we saw the completion of the Uruguay round of the 
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and most everyone has 
acknowledged that the economic growth that we have seen in this country 
has been led through exports.
  That is why it is imperative that this Congress move ahead as 
expeditiously as possible to pass the Uruguay round of the General 
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade so that we can ensure a higher level of 
productivity and a lower rate of inflation and a higher standard of 
living for people here in the United States of America and throughout 
the world.
