       UNITED STATES FINANCES CHINA'S SELLING OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS

  (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, in 1995 China was found guilty of selling 
nuclear weapons to Pakistan. China was then found guilty of building 
poison gas factories in Iran. Now the CIA tells us that China is 
selling missiles to Syria. What gets me is we are financing this with 
$40 billion a year pumped through most-favored-nation trade status.
  What is next here, Congress: Tax breaks for Chinese heroin? How about 
a good old-fashioned Chinese Communist Party fundraiser on the East 
Lawn?
  I say while we keep turning the other cheek, China is starting to 
point missiles right at our assets. With friends like this, who needs 
enemies?
   Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of any money we have left in 
the Pentagon budget.
