                              CHARLIE TRIE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, if you thought John Huang was 
something, get a load of Charlie Trie. This Little Rock restaurant 
owner, who has suddenly mysteriously disappeared, did not mess around. 
Charlie Trie went right to the Bank of China; $1 million was wired from 
the Bank of China, directly to Charlie Trie's bank account that 
happened to end up in the Democrat National Committee.
  Let us tell it like it is. When money from the Bank of China ends up 
in a Presidential campaign, it is not about fundraising anymore, Madam 
Speaker, it is destroying our national security. Truth is, when it 
comes to power politics, Chinese money literally grows on trees. Beam 
me up, Madam Speaker. There should be more investigation into this 
Chinese money business.
