On the recordJune 8, 1994
I rise today in strong opposition to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Massachusetts. Mr. Chairman, passage of this amendment would prove to be harmful to our economy and our international relationships. Under the current United States-Japan and United States-Euratom agreements, our trade of nuclear materials and technologies with Japan and Europe has flourished. These relationships have resulted in thousands of U.S. jobs and billions of dollars in U.S. exports. The effect of this amendment will be to harm the United States relationship with Japan and Europe, and to hurt United States business. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment.
