On the recordMarch 30, 2000
My amendment is right to the point, Mr. Chairman. We provide an awful lot of money around the world, and many times these nations buy product made in Japan and China. I am very concerned that some day China, with a $90 billion trade surplus, may literally attack our children. My amendment says we promote and encourage, without violating the laws, the procurement of American-made products. Let me say this to the House, we cannot protect America with a neighborhood crime watch and styrofoam. We need a domestic industry, and I think looking at procurement of American-made products is of vital importance.
