Political Quotes

“I take the floor today in this, the people's House. Yes, we proudly proclaim that this is the people's House where we stand up for the individual. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow there is going to be a very startling series of events on an issue that will be before this House. I refer specifically to H.R. 400, the Steal American Technology Act. This act will take American individuals and American interests and supplant them to the foreign interests. It will take multinational corporation interests and put them over the individual's interest. It will weigh in for power and prestige over the needs of Americans and our economy. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 400 is about gaining access to foreign markets. If my colleagues are concerned about the terrible exporting of American jobs overseas, they will be absolutely outraged if H.R. 400 is to pass this House and become law because it sells out our children's future and our grandchildren's future, it puts us at an economic disadvantage in the world marketplace, and it makes American interests secondary to foreign interests.”
