                       THE OVERSEAS INTERESTS ACT

  (Mr. CHRYSLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHRYSLER. Mr. Speaker, the reason we do not sell cars in Japan is 
because we do not build right-hand drive cars in this country, and for 
no other reason.
  Mr. Speaker, today and tomorrow the House will debate the Overseas 
Interests Act. This bill cuts foreign aid and ends the status quo of 
the bloated foreign aid bureaucracy.
  The American people, by very lopsided majorities, have expressed 
their desire to make these cuts. But unfortunately, the liberal 
Democrats in the White House and in Congress stand in the way. Liberals 
oppose any cut in the Federal bureaucracy and are wedded to the old 
Washington ways. They refuse to see that out-of-control Government is 
causing deficits and debt. If we do not cut the growth of Washington, 
our children will be saddled with unimaginable debt and unimaginable 
taxation.
  The Overseas Interest Act addresses these concerns. It will cut 
foreign aid and the bureaucracies that attempt to globally redistribute 
the hard-earned tax dollars of ordinary Americans. Republicans realize 
that we can no longer base our policies on waste, fraud, and ever-
expanding bureaucracies. Instead, we must insure that the interests of 
Americans are served, and not just those of the Federal Government.
