On the recordJuly 24, 2001
clearly, Boeing and Boeing workers are not the only ones who have a stake in this controversy. What I am trying to point out is that this has an immediate, real-life ramification for people who this morning got up and went to work in an industry that we are going to have a great chance of losing if we do not use the one very modest tool in our tool box to compete with this international conspiracy, if you will, to gain international dominance in this industry. And this is a very small tool we have. If we look at this compared to the subsidization of Airbus by the European community, this is almost nothing. Yes, Boeing is not the only player in this. But I came here to say that I have people in my district who care about it.
