[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 152 (2006), Part 8] [House] [Page 11075] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]JOB-KILLING TRADE AGREEMENTS (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, the People's Republic of China, Communist China, announced today that they have a $13 billion trade surplus for the month of May only. China last year with the U.S. had a $203 billion trade surplus, which, according to the U.S.-China Economic Security and Review Commission, a government agency, said that accounts in my State alone for a loss potentially of 42,000 manufacturing jobs. Too many of our Senators, too many of our House Members voted for these trade agreements that outsourced jobs, these job-killing trade agreements that devastate our communities. When places like Mansfield and Chillicothe and Portsmouth and Zanesville and Lima lose these kinds of industrial manufacturing jobs, they hurt our schools, they mean fewer police on the street, they mean weaker fire protection, they mean hardship for our families. Mr. Speaker, it is time that Members of Congress stood up and quit passing these job-killing trade agreements. ____________________
