The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“LABOR DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES NEW PROFESSIONS” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H14932-H14933 on Dec. 15, 1995.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
LABOR DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES NEW PROFESSIONS
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, whether it is a 4-year deal, 5-year deal, 7-year deal or 10-year deal, probably a 20-year deal, my question is: How can America balance the budget on minimum wage jobs?
It is getting so bad the Department of Labor listed some new professions for Americans.
How about his: Gizzard skin remover. How about a corn cob pipe assembler? How about a brassiere cup molder cutter? That is right. If you want to hear the big one, everybody is going to school for this: How about a pantyhose crotch closer? That is right. That is a listed job.
Just think, if these jobs do not go overseas, they may even be able to move up the ladder and become a pantyhose crotch closer supervisor.
Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Congress has got to look at the trade deficit. You just cannot look at budget deficits and Congress don't know what they're doing in my opinion at this point.
Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.
