On the recordApril 18, 1994
Mr. Speaker, as a cosponsor of this legislation, the Environmental Export Promotion Act, I join our chairman, the gentleman from Connecticut [Mr. Gejdenson], in thanking the chairman of our full committee, the gentleman from Indiana [Mr. Hamilton], the gentleman from New York [Mr. Gilman], the ranking member, and all those people who have worked on this legislation. This measure is the product of close bipartisan cooperation among all the members of our Subcommittee on Economic Policy. This bill is in keeping with the focus of our subcommittee, which is to create new jobs for American workers by expanding American exports, because we realize if we want to have good jobs here in America, we have got to be able to export our products. In the last Congress, our subcommittee produced two measures that, according to Commerce Department estimates, are adding 100,000 new jobs for American workers.
