                     FAST TRACK SHIPS JOBS OVERSEAS

  (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, I am opposed to fast track. When American 
workers are serving Mexican tomatoes and Canadian beef at Burger King 
and Bob Evans, something is very wrong. The American workers are not 
dumb. They are fed up, they are sick and tired of unemployment 
compensation, sick and tired of retraining, sick and tired of promises. 
They are sick and tired of politics. They are busted, disgusted, and 
cannot be trusted to vote for cerebral politicians who continue to ship 
their jobs overseas.
  Now, as far as I am concerned, I listened to all this ``bridge to the 
21st century'' business. I say the bridge to the 21st century is 
turning into another bridge over the River Kwai. Beam me up. Bridge 
this, Mr. President.
