             BORIS YELTSIN NEEDS COUNSELING, NOT MONITORING

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and revise and extend his remarks.)

[[Page H1386]]

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, in 1993, Boris Yeltsin fell off a stage 
in Germany. In 1994, Boris could not get off his plane in Ireland. In 
1996, Boris came up missing for 7 consecutive days, unexplained, before 
an election. In 1997, he forgot about a meeting with Vice President Al 
Gore. Yesterday, he fired his entire cabinet. The White House says they 
are monitoring it.
  Mr. Speaker, is Boris Yeltsin a victim of El Nino, too? Let us tell 
it like it is. This guy is not exactly the head of Kiwanis 
International. Boris Yeltsin has his shaky little finger on the button 
of one of the world's most massive nuclear arsenals.
  I say monitor this, Boris Yeltsin does not need monitors. Boris 
Yeltsin needs Alcoholics Anonymous. I say let us save our foreign aid 
and let us send some counselors over to take care of this guy. I yield 
back 1 day at a time the balance my time.
