                 EXPORTS, JOBS, AND GROWTH ACT OF 1996

  (Mr. ROTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROTH. Mr. Speaker, today we are going to have a very important 
vote. Yesterday, under suspension, we debated H.R. 3759, and I ask my 
colleagues to pay attention to this bill. It is the Exports, Jobs, and 
Growth Act. It adds $38 billion in exports. It adds some 123,000 new 
American jobs, and it cuts the deficit by $600 million. Fifteen unions 
have endorsed this legislation, business has endorsed this legislation, 
people all across America are asking for this bill.
  With all the emphasis today on the negative things in politics, let 
us do something positive for America. Let us vote for H.R. 3759 when it 
comes up today.
