On the recordOctober 6, 1997
Exim does not ship any money or set up any manufacturing overseas. What it does is exactly what the opponent of Exim has said: It helps American businesses finance the sale of American goods and products overseas where no one else will touch the financing. That is the whole purpose of Exim, to help create U.S. jobs, U.S. opportunities, in the sale of U.S. goods where they cannot obtain financing in any other market or by any other means. Madam Chairman, I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment.
