James Traficant: “the White House supports MFN for China. The United Nations supports MFN for China. The Council on Foreign Relations and…”

On the recordMay 20, 1997
the White House supports MFN for China. The United Nations supports MFN for China. The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, they support MFN for China; and naturally, China more than anyone else supports MFN for China. It seems everyone supports MFN for China except American workers, and I think their reason is right on target. America's trade policy sucks. We are not going to have a job left, folks. I would just like to say in closing out here that while we are budgeting our limited assets together, China keeps laughing all the way to the bank with a huge surplus. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker, dot com.
