Mr. Speaker, for years we have been touting American workers, and I would say to my friend from Ohio, who fights for American products and 'Made in America,' these are American cars. For 100 years Americans have been making these products. My colleagues on the other side say they are big strong supporters of the unions. It is mostly union members that make these cars and they have for 100 years. I think we need to show that we are proud of our products. Only a few short years ago there were other products that came into this country that cut them out. For 100 years our workers have been the finest in the world, and I think we need to honor them. I laud the gentleman for his initiative.
