                    MASSIVE TRADE DEFICITS FOR U.S.

  (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, another record one-month trade deficit 
approaching $20 billion. That means there were another 400,000 American 
manufacturing high-paying jobs lost last month.
  American workers keep going from factories to McDonald's, from steel 
mills to service centers, from banks to bankrupt, and no one in 
Washington is even paying attention.
  Check it out. Free trade for Mexico, free trade for Africa, free 
trade for China, free trade for Europe, and massive trade deficits for 
the United States of America.
  Beam me up. This is not a trade policy. This is a giveaway.
  I yield back what high-paying jobs with benefits we have left.
