 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ASLEEP ON THE JOB WHEN IT COMES TO HIGH-TECH JOB 
                                CREATION

  (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, the Department of Labor is bragging about 
all the new high-tech jobs they created. Let us check a few of them 
out. Dust collector, potato peeler, pretzel twisting, mattress testing, 
pillow stuffer, brassiere cup molder cutter, and panty hose crotch 
closer.
  Does that mean, Mr. Speaker, there is a panty hose crotch closer 
supervisor job that has been created? What is next? A pocket scientist? 
Beam me up.
  Evidently, the Department of Labor worked so hard that, even when 
they are sleeping, they are sleeping on the job, Mr. Speaker.
  I yield back that the only high tech of the Department of Labor is 
they are probably getting higher.
