               LABOR DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES NEW PROFESSIONS

  (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, whether it is a 4-year deal, 5-year deal, 
7-year deal or 10-year deal, probably a 20-year deal, my question is: 
How can 

[[Page H14933]]
America balance the budget on minimum wage jobs?
  It is getting so bad the Department of Labor listed some new 
professions for Americans.
  How about his: Gizzard skin remover. How about a corn cob pipe 
assembler? How about a brassiere cup molder cutter? That is right. If 
you want to hear the big one, everybody is going to school for this: 
How about a pantyhose crotch closer? That is right. That is a listed 
job.
  Just think, if these jobs do not go overseas, they may even be able 
to move up the ladder and become a pantyhose crotch closer supervisor.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Congress has got to look at the trade 
deficit. You just cannot look at budget deficits and Congress don't 
know what they're doing in my opinion at this point.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
