On the recordMay 25, 1994
American tax dollars go to foreign countries. This amendment says, when they do not produce a product in their own country, the Congress of the United States encourages them to buy American made products by Americans who pay taxes who provide money for this foreign aid. Mr. Chairman, the modest measure would also give a notice to that effect, and perhaps, maybe we might get a few American jobs out of the bill.
