on the status quo that the business community is asking each and every one of you, each and every one of us, to endorse today. Right now, we have a $34 billion trade deficit with China, the 1999-95 figure. It will be over $40 billion for 1996. Since the Tiananmen Square massacre, this figure has increased 1,000%, from $3.5 billion then to about $34 billion now.

On the other hand, the U.S. allows China to flood our markets with a third of their exports, and that'll probably go over 40%, and it's limitless because we have not placed any restriction. In terms of jobs, this is the biggest and cruelest hoax of all.

Our imports from China support 10 million jobs at least. Fact is that U.S.-China trade is a job loser.
