                        JAPAN: OPEN YOUR MARKETS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, American trade experts are saying that 
the White House and the Congress should not go forward with trade 
sanctions against Japan because they have clear, convincing evidence 
that Japan is going to open their markets, and they are saying that 
this new evidence can be found in the fact that Miller beer can now be 
sold in Japan and this new chug-a-lug attitude in Japan is going to 
lead to bigger and better things.
  Mr. Speaker, bigger and better things? Pizza? Potato chips? A few 
Slim Jims?
  Beam me up. There is only one way to get the attention of the land of 
the rising sun: Midnight tonight put the sanctions on Japan. You have 
been screwing us for years. Open your markets or pay the price.
  The pocketbook is the only thing Japan will understand. Think about 
it, Congress.
