               THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED JOBS, NOT DEBATE

  (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, AT&T, after having already laid off 
20,000 American workers, announced it will lay off another 8,500, 
including 1,000 workers in Dayton, OH. AT&T said through a spokesman 
they are restructuring because our economy is so strong.
  Some economy, folks. Check it out. Westinghouse cut 6,000 jobs, 
United Technologies 11,000, McDonnell Douglas 9,000, IBM 50,000, 
General Motors 100,000, Xerox, Eastman Kodak 40,000.
  Truth is, ladies and gentlemen, while Congress fights over partisan 
politics, America is becoming a colony once again. The American workers 
are fighting for their very jobs. The American people need jobs, not 
debate.
