                     STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT FAST TRACK

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, let us tell it like it is. The last 
fast track traded Ma Bell for Taco Bell. Today's fast track will trade 
more American jobs and dollars and factories to all of Central America 
for a '48 Ford pickup truck, two loads of pinto beans and three 
ballplayers to be named later. Beam me up.
  In addition, I predict we will get another 25 tons of heroin, another 
35 tons of cocaine, and a lot more economic development in the form of 
prisons, I say to my colleagues. Let us have a little straight talk. 
``This dog don't hunt. Pull this turkey.''
  I yield back the balance of any jobs we have left.
