                    THREE CHEERS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Hear, hear, Mr. Speaker. Three cheers for the White 
House, who has finally slapped Japan with a big time 100-percent tariff 
on luxury vehicles.
  And guess what? Acura is a crying, Infiniti is now finite, Toyota is 
toasted, Nissan is nixed, Mazda is maxed, Mitsubishi is busted, and 
Lexus is nauseous. But in the words of Bob Dylan, how does it feel, 
Japan? Because you see, we here in America know that Lincoln had been 
shrinking, Cadillac had been lacking, and Chrysler was almost mort.
  So think about it, Members. It is about time we used a 2 by 4 and 
open those markets. Open those markets in Japan if you want to 
straighten out the budget in America.
  And one thing, Japan, think of this: When you hold your own trade 
program to your nosey, it doesn't smell too rosy, does it? In the words 
of Bob Dylan, how does it feel? Big time tariffs. I yield back the 
balance of these huge tariffs.
