                              RUSSIAN AID

  (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, the new $64,000 question for Congress: Is 
Boris Yeltsin Russia's George Washington? Or is Boris Yeltsin just 
another Joseph Stalin? One thing is for sure, we have a national debt 
that is out of sight, a trade deficit that continues to grow. The 
American people are worried about losing their homes, losing their 
jobs, and we keep sending billions of dollars over to Russia and we 
keep wining and dining Boris Yeltsin.
  Ladies and gentlemen, we turned our back when it was only 140 of the 
Old Guard he slaughtered. Now he is attacking citizens in Chechnya. I 
say one thing is very sure, we have very little money. If we have any, 
we should spend it in America. Even when we do, we call it pork. Well, 
if it is pork in America, let me tell you we are sending a prize-
winning Porky the Pig over there in Russia. And if there is going to be 
freedom in Russia, the Russian people should die for it.
  Think about it.
