On the recordAugust 2, 1995
Mr. Speaker, I have got good news and bad news. The good news is that the President of France and his military advisors are beginning to feel the pinch whereby consumers all over the world are refusing to purchase French goods and products to protest France's recently announced policy to explode eight more nuclear bombs in the middle of the Pacific Ocean beginning next month on the Moruroa Atoll. The bad news is that the French Government has now announced it will explode its first nuclear bomb explosion this month because there has been such a tremendous support from ordinary people and leaders of countries throughout the world condemning French nuclear testing. Mr. Speaker, I suggest that the charismatic and dashing President of France to quit playing God with the lives of millions of men, women, and children who live in the Pacific. President Chirac should spend more time to resolve France's serious unemployment at 12 percent, rather than proving France's nuclear capability. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues and our citizens all over America to join other world citizens by refusing to buy French goods and products.
