           WE NEED SOME COMMON SENSE AT THE LABOR DEPARTMENT

  (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, the Labor Department says there are more 
jobs than ever. I would like to discuss a few.
  Ear muff assembler, dog food mixer, vibrator tester, worm picker, 
belly builder, dog washer, diaper machine tender-supervisor, hooker 
inspector, and a pantyhose crotch closer machine operator supervisor.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. The truth is I think we need some common 
sense at the Labor Department. Sun Apparel just laid off 600 workers, 
moving to Mexico; Johnson & Johnson laid off 100 workers, moving to 
Mexico.
  The truth of the matter is that I think we should move the Labor 
Department to Mexico, and create some good jobs in America. I yield 
back all these jobs.
