                   STEALING ALL BUT THE FAMILY JEWELS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, documents now reveal that Alan 
Greenspan misled us, the Bush White House used phony numbers. NAFTA is 
Halloween all right, inside out. It is a trick. Certainly not a treat.
  The news that breaks today might be good for the South if you think 
about it. You already lost in the first 9 months of this year 100,000 
textile jobs. Fruit of the Loom is laying off 3,200 people and moving 
to Mexico.
  I have heard about people stealing your pants. This is the first time 
somebody has stolen our goochies, ladies and gentleman.
  While Congress is debating 4-year deals, 5-year deals, 7-year deals, 
I predict in 1999 Congress will be debating a 10-year deal. The reason 
is very simple. America will never balance the budget, let alone pay 
one dime off on this massive debt without jobs. As long as the good-
paying jobs are going overseas, we will continue to lose our pants.
  Thank God it could have been worse. They could have stolen our family 
jewels.
