                  ANTI-AMERICAN TRADE AND TAX POLICIES

  (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, remember the Singer sewing machines? Most 
married couples in America had one. Today the Singer Company filed 
bankruptcy in New York.
  The Singer Company is now headquartered in Hong Kong. They make their 
sewing machines in Japan, Brazil, and Taiwan. It is called the New 
World Order, Mr. Speaker.
  Here is how it works: American factories move overseas. They send 
their products back and sell them in America. If it does not work out, 
they go bankrupt and screw the American creditors. What a system.
  I yield back all the anti-American trade and tax policies that this 
Congress continues to support and pass.
