                              CUT THE CIA

  (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 CIA said they knew nothing of secret 
government radiation tests on American guinea pigs in the fifties. 
Those guinea pigs were American citizens.
  Can you believe this, Government documents now reveal the CIA not 
only knew, they funded a radiation testing lab in California to test 
American prisoners. Unbelievable. They knew nothing about the mining of 
the harbors, they knew nothing about the death-threat manuals, they 
knew nothing about Gary Powers. Stone cold lies.
  Now, evidence shows that during the Westmoreland-CBS trial, a secret 
CIA memo says, ``Have we gone beyond reasonable dishonesty?'' 
Reasonable dishonesty, Members? Lies, stone cold lies through their 
teeth.
  If Government is going to reform itself and cut the size of 
Government, Congress should cut the hell out of the CIA.
