“I will be offering at the appropriate time, sometime after 3:30, an amendment that deals with the outsourcing of jobs. I note the presence of the Presiding Officer who comes from the same region of the country I do. We have all been feeling it in our States, not just in the Northeast, but across the country, the tremendous pinch that is occurring as a result of job loss and the growing number of jobs that are being outsourced. I am told by those who cover these issues that the coalition opposed to any legislative efforts to stop outsourcing is coming up with some new language. They don't like the word, 'outsourcing,' so they are calling it worldwide sourcing, to take some of the sting out of the language. They may succeed in taking the sting out of the language by changing the vocabulary, but you cannot take the sting out of finding out that your job has been lost and that others offshore are taking those jobs because it enhances the bottom line in a quarterly report someplace.”
