  TRIO OF TRADE EXPERTS RECOMMEND CONTINUATION OF MFN STATUS FOR CHINA

  (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, China denies American products. China 
steals American videos and software. China tortures their own citizens, 
China imprisons their political opponents. China has slave labor camps. 
China has a 17-cent-an-hour labor wage. China still has slave labor 
camps. China sells nuclear technology and missiles to America's 
enemies, and China is now threatening to nuke Taiwan. After all this, 
American government trade experts say it is in the best interests of 
America to continue most-favored-nation trade status for China.
  Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker, I say it has finally dawned on me. These 
American trade experts are actually Larry, Moe, and Curly, an they 
inhaled all the time.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. I yield back the balance of any jobs left 
over.
