On the recordMay 7, 1996

Let me say this. I think there is a lot of concern because of the fact that we are using the grounds, and we are using Capitol Grounds, as evidenced by the fact we need a resolution. We use Capitol Grounds for many other things. I am not opposed to this. I believe that we should highlight the achievements and the great, in fact, pursuits of the American automobile industry, from the invention and the creation to the mass production. I am very concerned, though, and I want to state this before the Congress, on a resolution of this kind which is noncontroversial, that right now many of our trucks carrying American-made manufactured brands are made overseas. The beautiful Regal, Buick Regal, is made in Canada. So I want to make sure this is an event for America. I certainly will not oppose it. I will vote for it.
