                               FAST TRACK

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow we will vote on fast track, 
expanding the North American Free Trade Agreement to dozens of other 
countries. NAFTA cost tens of thousands of American jobs. So does fast 
track. NAFTA threatens the safety of our food supply. So does fast 
track. NAFTA weakens our environmental laws. So does fast track.
  To get fast track through Congress, Speaker Gingrich and President 
Clinton are wheeling and dealing like we have never seen before: deals 
on the census, on family planning, on health care and campaign 
contributions. Let us reject the wheeling and dealing by Speaker 
Gingrich and President Clinton. Vote no on fast track.
