                         POLITICAL HANKY-PANKY

  (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, these are important topics, but I have 
heard of politicians being able to reach into their pockets for a bag 
of tricks, but this one is right out of Victoria's Secret.
  That is right.
  After having lunch with his staffers, Mr. Speaker, a powerful 
Washington politician reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of 
women's panties.
  That is right.
  A staffer later said, ``Lo and behold.''
  Now that is real American slang.
  ``Lo and behold, the boss mistakenly has taken his wife's panties 
thinking it was a handkerchief.''
  Mr. Speaker, the staff said it was not hanky-panky, strictly a 
hankie.
  My colleagues, this may be the truth, but thank God he did not pull 
out a product made by Maidenform.
  Mr. Speaker, I say, ``Ever since Fannie Fox was dragged out of the 
Potomac, you don't know what to expect from all these powerful 
politicians.''
