On the recordNovember 2, 1999
I get to the point, and I don't make it in any hostile manner. I just say the complexities of the world, just that part of it, are very considerable. I am reluctant to see such categories enter trade law. No one has ever asked whether the products of the American clothing workshops in New York City were made by American citizens. There surely would have been a time when the majority--or many of them--were not American citizens at all. They would have come from what would become Poland, and there was no concept of citizenship for the occupants of the shtetls. I just suggest there is considerable ambiguity. I don't wish to press the matter. I yield the floor.
