                        THE SELL-OUT OF AMERICA

  (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 Great Lakes are now open. The first 
foreign ship to dock in Cleveland, Ohio, carried 10,000 tons of steel 
from Russia. While mills are closing in Cleveland, Youngstown, and 
Pittsburgh, steel mills are closing all over America. Ten thousand tons 
of illegally dumped steel just came in to America. Unbelievable.
  Think about it. It is getting so bad the Army almost bought, without 
Congress' interference, black berets for the Army from China. Beam me 
up. If our trade program is so good, why does Europe not do it? Why 
does Japan not do it? Why does China not do it?
  I think it is time to put things in order in America, my colleagues. 
Enough is enough. I yield back the sell- out of America, wholesale, to 
Communist dictators, and the loss of jobs to these socialist, communist 
countries.
