this is the only amendment in the bill that provides some protection to American workers displaced in the workplace by imports coming into America, and not only coming into America, but having an American made label put on them and deceiving the consuming public in America to believe they are buying a product that has been made in America. Now evidently I have a couple problems here with the committee over the registration that should be effected by the Commerce Department. My colleagues, the Commerce Department would have to create a registry of American made products so that we could ensure that we might know what is made in this country, and maybe if we knew what was made in this country and what was being illegally sent to this country, we would have a few more people at work. So, Mr. Chairman, I am going to reserve the balance of my time to hear the defense in opposition of this amendment.
