      ACCESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE BY COMMUNIST CHINESE IS DANGEROUS

  (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, while everybody in Washington is 
talking about a fly on our face, an elephant may be eating our assets.
  Charlie Trie was indicted for illegal campaign contributions. The 
indictment reads: Charlie Trie helped to purchase access to high-level 
government officials with illegal contributions from foreign sources. 
Foreign sources. Chinese communists.
  Think about it. Charlie Trie was not soliciting money from the 
Rotary. Charlie Trie was soliciting money from communist China.
  Beam me up.
  And while everybody may be talking about access to the White House by 
sexy interns and how sensational that is, access to the White House by 
communist China is dangerous.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of any nationality 
sovereignty we have left.
