            STOP AIDING NATIONS WHO SPY ON THE UNITED STATES

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, we now find out that a top CIA agent has 
been paid $1.5 million over the last 2 years for spying on the United 
States on behalf of Russia.
  Leslie Gelb, chief foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times 
who now works at the State Department, wrote a column a couple of years 
ago that the combined Western aid to the States of the former Soviet 
Union had totaled $50 to $60 billion over the last couple of years. 
Last year this body voted, I voted against it and many others did, but 
we voted to increase the appropriation for the World Bank by $12 
billion for aid to Russia. Some estimates are that we have spent over 
$100 billion in aid in recent years to the States of the former Soviet 
Union.
  Now what are they doing? They are spitting in our face. They are 
spying on us.
  We need to cut this aid off. We have too many problems here at home 
that need to be taken care of first. We are broke. We are $4.3 trillion 
in debt, and losing billions each week. We need to take care of our 
problems here at home first and stop sending so many billions and 
billions of dollars overseas, and particularly to countries that are 
spying on us and slapping us in the face every day.
