Slaughter Denounces "Fire-Sale" of American Resources to Foreign Companies

WASHINGTON -- Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, Ranking Member of the House Rules Committee, today spoke on the House floor in opposition to the Southeast Arizona Land Transfer Jobs.

In part she said:

"Today's bill isn't written for the American worker - it was written for foreign mining giants that hope to profit from our generosity. These firms are hoping that this Congress will be charitable enough to give away millions of tons of copper to foreign companies that have no responsibility to create American jobs."
