          IT IS TIME FOR JAPAN TO LIVE UP TO PROMISES ON TRADE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Fact, Mr. Speaker, for 40 years Japan's trade 
practices have ripped us off.
  Fact, Mr. Speaker, for 40 years Japan has promised to stop it.
  Fact, Mr. Speaker, for 40 years the White House has threatened 
sanctions.
  Now the truth is if America had one dollar for every promise Japan 
made on trade we would have no deficit, and the truth is if American 
workers had one job for every threat the White House made, we would 
have no unemployment.
  Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for Congress to say it is high noon 
with Japan. What are we going to do, Congress? Are we going to send 
John Wayne with a 301 six-shooter this time, or are we going to 
continue to send Woody Allen, this time with a GATT agreement?
  This is unbelievable. Congress is literally ripping off the American 
workers and is turning their back. Shame, Congress, shame.
