              ECONOMIC RECOVERY AT THE EXPENSE OF WORKERS

  (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, Business Week Reports that corporate 
profits are at a 50-year high. They say that executives who average 
over $1 million a year in pay and bonuses have caused this great profit 
by in fact cutting the wages of American workers and many times 
replacing full-time American workers with temporary hires.
  You see, to many corporations, I believe, the best American workers 
is an American worker that also happens to qualify for food stamps. 
Now, experts are saying this is the greatest economic recovery in our 
history. If that is so, I say right on the floor, these economic 
experts have been inhaling for a long time.
