            FAST TRACK IS A JOB LOSER FOR AMERICA'S WORKERS

  (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, to pass fast track the President said he 
will expand job retraining and unemployment counseling by $1.2 billion. 
Unbelievable. The reason is very simple: More Americans will lose their 
jobs on yet another fast track.
  To be more specific here, fast track is a loser, a job loser for 
American workers. What are we retraining these workers to do? How many 
more pantyhose crotch closer jobs are really out there, Mr. Speaker? 
Beam me up.
  It is time to stand up and stop this madness. American workers do not 
want unemployment compensation, they do not want retraining, they do 
not want trade adjustment assistance. They want to keep their jobs and 
take care of their families.
