      EASIER TO FIND ELVIS THAN A GOOD FACTORY JOB HERE IN AMERICA

  (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, Kodak is laying off 10,000 workers. Now 
if that is not enough to overexpose your most recent negative, Fruit of 
the Loom is cutting 3,000 jobs and moving to Mexico. Unbelievable. It 
is getting easier to find Charlie Trie and Elvis than it is to find a 
good factory job here in America.
  Beam me up. I think it is time for Congress to ask themselves a very 
simple little commonsense question: If our trade program is so great, 
why does Japan not do it? Think about that.
  I yield back all the balance of jobs and say one last thing here. 
From snapshots to long johns, American workers just keep getting their 
assets kicked.
