“Every time you try to stand up for an American job you are called an isolationist. There is a new coalition. They want to change the language, by the way. There was an article this morning that says, ``Business coalition rewrites lexicon for jobs outsourcing.'' They point out, they say the coalition is now rallying around ``worldwide sourcing'' as a less provocative term. I apologize for sounding provocative, but we didn't make this up. What ought to be provocative is the fact that people like my colleague from California have constituents who are losing their jobs because we are not doing enough to protect these jobs--not from a protectionist standpoint, but protect them when in fact there is no loss to be incurred as a result of standing up and saying we ought to be doing what we can to protect these positions in our country. I commend her for it. I thank you for raising it. It is an important point and I am glad our amendment covers it.”
