                       COMMONSENSE FOREIGN POLICY

  (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, America gives billions to Russia. With 
American cash, Russia builds missiles. Russia then sells those missiles 
to China, and China, who gets about $45 billion in trade giveaways from 
Uncle Sam, then sells those Russian-made missiles to Iran.
  Now, Iran, with those Russian made missiles sold to them by China, 
threatens the Mideast. So Uncle Sam, who is concerned about Iran 
threatening the Mideast because of those Russian-made missiles sold to 
them by China that were financed by American cash, sends more troops 
and sends more dollars. Beam me up.
  Now, if that is not enough to tax your rubles, check this out. Boris 
just signed a deal with those Chinese dictators that makes NATO look 
like the neighborhood crime watch.
  Mr. Speaker, this is not foreign policy. This is foreign stupidity. I 
think a little common sense would go a lot further than all of these 
think tank experts and their advice.
