       ENTERTAINING BORIS YELTSIN INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN AMERICA

  (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, Boris Yeltsin is at the White House and 
Boris Yeltsin wants more money for Russia. Boris Yeltstin wants more 
American investment in Russia. Boris wants, Boris wants, Boris wants. 
It is like a broken record around here, Boris wants.
  I do not know about you, but I am sick about it. All these foreign 
leaders must think that America is one big piggy bank and all you have 
to do is dial 911 and we send cash.
  I think it is time to tell Boris Yeltsin to go back to Russia, plant 
some damned corn, save the money that we have been giving them and 
invest it here in America; $12 billion, you know what Boris did with 
most of it? He spent $100 milion and bought a luxury yacht, Congress. 
Beam me up.
  We have got cities dying, mayors crying for American investment, for 
Congress to put money in their own cities, and what are we going? We 
are entertaining Boris again.
