        ECONOMISTS' CLAIMS OF JOB AVAILABILITY BOGGLES THE MIND

  (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, economists say there are jobs 
everywhere. Check this out: messenger singer, press clipping cut-and-
paster, sandwich signboard carrier, drive-in theater specialist, dust 
collector, pretzel twister, pantyhose crotch specialist.
  Madam Speaker, I suggest there be a new job title called ``sleeper 
specialist,'' because it is evident even when these economists are 
working, they are sleeping on the job.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to just yield back all the boxer shorts 
sorters and the brassiere cup molders.
  Beam me up.
  Madam Speaker, if these are jobs, I am a fashion leader.
