                    STOP THE GRAVY TRAIN FOR RUSSIA

  (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, you heard about Boris, now get a load of 
Yuri. That is right, Yuri Luzhkov, mayor of Moscow, next President of 
Russia. Secret meetings, secret budgets, secret records, secret million 
dollar deals. This guy Yuri makes Boss Tweed look like mother Teresa, 
but he is a prototype, Congress, of new Russian politicians. He hires 
his family so he can save money on the car pool.
  Meanwhile, they are laughing all the way to the bank with our $12 
billion. To boot, it is being put in a Russian bank.
  I think Boris and now specifically Yuri leave a lot to be denied, and 
I say Congress should stop this $12 billion gravy train for Russia and 
invest it in America. I think these guys are no Thomas Jefferson.
