                     CLOUD OF SHAME HANGS OVER CIA

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, a cloud of shame is hanging over America's 
intelligence community. In August, the San Jose Mercury News reported 
that the Central Intelligence Agency shipped cocaine into south central 
Los Angeles, then used that money to buy guns to overthrow the 
Government of Nicaragua.
  And while Aldrich Ames was busy selling us down the river, our 
``Central Intoxication Agency'' was selling crack cocaine in south 
central Los Angeles.
  It is no wonder we could not predict the fall of the Soviet Union; 
the CIA was too busy shipping crack into the United States.
  Mr. Speaker, as the ``Hemp-Dope'' ticket traverses America 
proselytizing about the increase in drug use, the administration they 
hope to emulate, the Reagan-Bush administration, was running crack in 
the 1980's.
  I urge my colleagues to just say ``no'' to the ``Central Intoxication 
Agency'' and the ``Hemp-Dope'' ticket.
