On the recordJune 5, 1996
This is what this is about. We are talking about the largest public works project in the world. If the Members who are in their offices watching this debate on this amendment want to be consistent on MFN, what they ought to do is vote for this amendment and continue to send a strong signal that we cannot have it both ways. This is the classic Clinton attempt to have it both ways. It is nonsense, and we should not stand by and let it happen. That will send a strong message. I encourage Members who care about American business and care about companies doing business abroad to do this.
