We owe it to the taxpayers of the United States, to the textile workers of this country who are enduring unfair competition, and to the garment workers and other foreign workers in Saipan who are being forced to experience a distasteful and unrepresentative side of America.

The Public Record
The bill I introduce today will crack down on the enormous, mostly foreign-owned garment industry that employ thousands of foreign workers to sew foreign fabric into garments bearing the 'Made in USA' label which is then shipped to the U.S. mainland quota and duty free.
Mr. Speaker, today I introduced legislation to address the most important source of water pollution facing our country--polluted runoff.
Water quality in California's San Joaquin Valley has been degraded by unregulated discharges of waste from dairy farms.
Farm SAFE will require large livestock operations to do their part to reduce water pollution.
I am encouraged by recent efforts by the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency to address pollution from animal feedlots.
I hope that this Congress does not continue to ignore this growing national problem.
The bill improves water quality monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting so that the public knows which CAFOs are polluting.
This legislation will restore confidence that we can swim and fish in our streams and rivers without getting sick.
The National Park Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and many state and local government agencies have all expressed concerns about the quality of scientific data and information upon which NRC decisions have been based.
