      RUSSIA USING OUR CASH TO UNDERMINE AND ENDANGER OUR FREEDOM

  (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, let us see if this makes any sense: 
Congress borrows money from Japan and Germany; then Congress gives the 
borrowed money to Russia; then Russia takes the American cash and 
bribes our CIA and buys our secrets.
  Most recently, Rick and Mary Ames, think about it, American cash is 
used to spy on America. We are supposed to be helping Russia find 
democracy and freedom. They are using our cash to undermine and 
endanger our freedom.
  Beam me, Mr. Speaker.
  We have got kids sleeping on steel grates, kids killing kids, mom and 
dad without jobs, and we are giving our borrowed money to Russia, who 
spies on us. I say enough is enough; no more cash to Russia. Charity 
starts at home.
  One last thing: I heard it was still referred to as ``Uncle Sam,'' 
not ``Uncle Sucker.'' Maybe Congress ought to leave it that way,
