          WHITE HOUSE TURNS THE OTHER CHEEK ON CHINA'S ACTIONS

  (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, China denies American products and the 
White House turns the other cheek. China smuggles AK-47's into America 
and the White House turns the other cheek. China sells missiles to 
Iran, the White House turns the other cheek. China even threatened to 
use nuclear force against Taiwan. The White House turns the other 
cheek.
  And after all this, the White House still wants to grant most-
favored-nation trade status to China.
  Beam me up here. Evidently, the White House will not learn a lesson 
till one of those Communist Chinese missiles hits them right smack in 
the middle of their other cheeks. Think about that one, ladies and 
gentlemen. We are, in fact, financing the next major national security 
threat to our Nation.
