at times the United States has been involved in Nation-building with our dollars. These are handouts. These are Communists. Every Vietnam group that helped American troops while they were over there dying for peace, they have repressed every Vietnam group that was supportive of our troops. I support the resolution. We just had a strike settled where General Motors workers won an agreement that they would not sell a couple of their plants by the year 2000. They are desperately fighting for jobs. The Congress of the United States and all our well-meaning, politically correct economic strategies is shipping jobs all over the world and is patting Communists on the back. I want no part of it. Mr. Speaker, I support the resolution. I think we are rewarding Communists that screwed our soldiers and screwed their own people who tried to help our men who were protecting their buns. Mr. Speaker, I urge Members to support the resolution. I ask Congress to approve it.
