                               THE TRIAD

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Madam Speaker, we must never forget the link between our 
military, our foreign policy, and our intelligence network.
  A strong military, a coherent foreign policy, and an effective 
intelligence network work together to keep our country out of danger 
and in peace.
  The Clinton record with this triad is alarming. By slashing military 
spending, the President threatens to recreate Jimmy Carter's hollow 
force.
  By failing to define a strong foreign policy, the President sows 
confusion among our neighbors and promotes opportunism with our 
enemies.
  By cutting spending in our intelligence networks, the President bases 
his decisions on faulty data and incorrect assumptions.
  From Bosnia to North Korea, from Haiti to Rwanda, the Clinton record 
in international affairs continues to concern the American people. I 
urge the President to improve our national security triad and keep the 
United States in peace.
