            OVERBURDENING OSHA REGULATIONS HURTING AMERICANS

  (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, this month the Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration announced that American homes are dangerous and 
``a hazard to workers who work in their own home.''
  Now, if that is not enough to bust your subdermal hematoma, check 
this out: employers who allow their own employees to work out of their 
own homes are now liable if their employee gets hurt in their very own 
home.
  Beam me up.
  What is next? Will husbands be fined for an aggressive honeymoon in 
their very own home?
  I recommend that Congress ship OSHA to Japan and China, and let them 
screw those countries up.
  I yield back the fact that these overburdening regulations in America 
are killing American jobs and forcing American companies to move 
overseas.
