Speech #990264107

Mr. Speaker. in the furor last week created by Premier Nakasones racist remarks about America. it seems to me that something very important was not commented uponthe reason for the analysis by the leader of Japan on what is wrong with the United States. As reprehensible as I found his remarks about minorities and women to beand as the daughter of immigrant parents. the content of his speech made me very angry. Upon reflection. I am equally disturbed by the impact of his perception that this country has lost something important in its performance as a world power. No wonder we have been unable to successfully negotiate with the Japanese on the many trade issues which have affected our economy so much.
