            EIGHTY PERCENT OF ILLEGAL DRUGS COME FROM MEXICO

  (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 America today 80 percent of all heroin 
comes from Mexico; 80 percent of all cocaine and all marijuana comes 
from Mexico; 80 percent of all narcotics in your town, in my town comes 
from Mexico. It is so bad that Mexico's top government drug fighter was 
busted for helping drug traffickers.
  And after all of this, reports now say that the White House is 
leaning towards certifying Mexico again as a cooperating partner in 
America's war on drugs.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. I do not know who is sleeping in Lincoln's 
bedroom, but I think a bigger question to be answered around here and 
in Mexico is who all is in bed with these Mexican drug dealers? Last I 
heard it was still Uncle Sam, not Uncle Sucker. Take a look at it and 
think about it.
