   CHINA POLICY RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT INTELLIGENT LIFE IN WASHINGTON

  (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, everybody knows that China is ripping 
America off. They now enjoy a $38 billion trade surplus, laughing all 
the way to a Chinese bank.
  To me that is unbelievable, but what is more unbelievable is that 
China is then rewarded with most-favored-nation trade status.
  But what can even be more troubling in all this is that with that $35 
billion, China builds Silkworm missiles. Then China takes those 
Silkworm missiles and sells them to Iran. Then Iran takes those 
Silkworm missiles and threatens the gulf, and then the Pentagon says to 
Congress, ``We need more money to protect the gulf from those Silkworm 
missiles that Iran has that were made in China.''
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Now NASA is on an unmanned space mission to 
the moon. I think NASA should redirect and have an unmanned space 
mission to Washington, DC, and try to find out if there is any 
intelligent life left in the Nation's Capital.
