               RUSSIAN MISSILE TECHNOLOGY SOLD TO BRAZIL

  (Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, they say that actions speak 
louder than words. In the case of the Clinton administration, that 
appears to be true.
  We have heard from the Clinton administration they are concerned 
about arms proliferation; specifically, missile technology being sold 
around the world.
  But what are their actions? Mr. Speaker, today's Washington Post 
headline screams out the record of the Clinton administration. ``U.S. 
Waives Objections to Russian Missile Technology Sale to Brazil.'' We 
now learn the Clinton administration secretly has given the go-ahead to 
allow the Russians to begin to export their technology, while next week 
on the House floor, on the defense bill, we will hear all of these 
arguments about adhering to the ABM Treaty.
  This is the second case where the Clinton administration has waived 
efforts to stop proliferation of missile technology. Earlier this year 
they failed to stop the sale of rocket motors to China, which will be 
used to enhance their cruise missiles.
  This is outrageous. Last evening I wrote to the President a two-page 
letter asking for a full public discussion and disclosure, with the 
Congress, about the waiver of the sanctions against Russia and Brazil.
