        HOUSE PASSED PERMANENT NORMAL TRADE RELATIONS FOR CHINA

  (Mr. SESSIONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, today has been a glorious day for the 
United States House of Representatives. This body, actually yesterday, 
debated one of the most outstanding trade packages that will take place 
perhaps in my tenure in the House of Representatives, and I am pleased 
to report to those listeners that might be hearing us tonight that the 
House of Representatives earlier today passed what is known as the 
permanent normal trade relations with China. It was a stunning victory 
for people who choose to have free and fair trade around this globe.
