Team USA to Wear 'Made in China'
Members of Congress angry, but Olympic Committee stands by the uniforms.

The U.S. Olympic team will wear red, white and blue in London, but the label will read "Made in China."
"Republicans and Democrats railed Thursday about the U.S. Olympic Committee's decision to dress the U.S. team in Chinese manufactured berets, blazers and pants while the American textile industry struggles economically with many U.S. workers desperate for jobs," reported the Associated Press.
The Olympic Committee stands by the uniforms, saying designer Ralph Lauren is "an iconic American company" and a U.S. Olympic Team sponsor.
