On the recordApril 20, 1999
I wanted to come down here to the Floor of the House to compliment the gentleman from New York (Mr. Owens), my fine colleague, for his special order this evening. Madam Speaker, I was listening to the gentleman in my office and I was motivated to come down here when he was talking about the minimum wage and the struggle of people from our country to earn a decent living. I wanted to engage the gentleman in a colloquy, if I might, based on a speech that was made over the weekend and reported in the gentleman's home city of New York City by none other than the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan. The story was reported in my local paper back home, the Toledo Blade, because he was talking about workers in our country and saying that, and I quote from the article, ``pockets of workers in America sometimes have to suffer for the national economy to get stronger.''
