Dana Rohrabacher: “As far as I am concerned, that is not a legitimate part of the debate, although we hear it time and time again…”

On the recordJune 27, 1996
As far as I am concerned, that is not a legitimate part of the debate, although we hear it time and time again expressed. The fact is we are talking about the current trade status. Now, those who are opposed to my resolution accurately say that we are not talking about most-favored-nation status because it sounds like it is something more than our current trade status, but what I am suggesting is our current trade status is immoral, it is wrong both economically and strategically for the United States; in other words, that it does not benefit the United States to have the current trade status.
