                AMERICA HAS ANOTHER RECORD TRADE DEFICIT

  (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, for the third straight month America has 
another record trade deficit. China and Japan are now taking $130 
billion a year out of our economy. China and Japan are taking $130 
billion a year out of our economy, and no one in Washington is even 
paying any attention.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. While Congress worries about the Balkans, 
Asia, Africa, and the Mideast, Congress is ignoring the good old U.S.A. 
I believe that is a recipe for disaster. I yield back what jobs we have 
left.
