                    DO NOT SURRENDER OUR SOVEREIGNTY

  (Mr. HUNTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, the President in sending GATT down in an 
attempt at the last minute to get it through is really doing a 
disservice to our country. He is doing a disservice particularly to the 
sovereignty of this country. Eighty-three of the nations that will be 
members of the WTO, the World Trade Organization, and that will be 
about two-thirds of the membership, have a record in the United Nations 
of voting more than 50 percent of the time against America.
  What President Clinton is doing is giving away our strong right to 
bilateral negotiations in trade. He is surrendering that to a committee 
that does not like us very much. This President is sending our 
Government to the United Nations, our troops to Haiti, and our jobs to 
Japan.
