“Mr. Speaker, we have heard here that this really is not about taxpayer subsidy, because what we are doing today only makes possible that we will give taxpayer subsidies to American businessmen for closing factories here and opening up in this dictatorship in Southeast Asia, Vietnam.

That is what this is about, the same way it is about this in China in our China debate, and what the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane) read confirms that.”
