James Traficant: “in the case of any equipment or products that may be authorized to be…”

On the recordMay 4, 1994

in the case of any equipment or products that may be authorized to be purchased with assistance under this act, the Congress expresses the essence of the Congress that those purchases be made in America. In addition, that any recipient of assistance under this bill would get a notice that would basically outline that sense of Congress resolution listed in the amendment. Let me say to Members of the Congress, in the last 10 years, we had 2.5 trillion dollars' worth of new debt and 1.6 trillion dollars' worth of trade deficits. I ask the committee to accept the amendment.
