                       TRADE POLICY AND JOBS LOST

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, did you ever wonder why America's trade 
and tax policies seem to kill American jobs and force companies to move 
overseas and all these foreign governments do so great under America's 
laws. Check this out.
  Former chief counsel of the Committee on Ways and Means, responsible 
for a lot of these laws, Joe Dawley and John Salmon, they now represent 
Turkey and Great Britain. How about the Trade Representative, former 
Trade Representative Bill Brock? He represents Taiwan. How about his 
assistants, used to be Julia Bliss and Cliff Gibbons? They represent 
Japan. This is not hard to figure out.
  We have a $153 billion trade deficit because our Government workers, 
who were paid by Uncle Sam, went on the payroll of these foreign 
governments. I would say they were quite cozy before they left.
  All you have to do is look at the trade deficit and look at the laws. 
It kills American jobs and forces American companies to move overseas.
  Wake up, America. Wake up, Congress.
