                 NEEDS OF NATIONAL SECURITY BRAIN TRUST

  (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, the Pentagon says China and Russia are 
engaged in a nuclear arms race. They say both China and Russia can hit 
every city in America with a ballistic missile.
  Now, if that is not enough to cause you to fall on your sword, the 
Pentagon further says Russia and China are doing this with American 
dollars.
  Unbelievable. Let us check this out. China gets $60 billion in MFN 
from Uncle Sam. Russia gets $15 billion in foreign aid from Uncle Sam. 
In exchange, Uncle Sam gets nuclear missiles pointed at our cities, two 
tape decks and three cases of vodka.
  Beam me up. I say our national security brain trust needs a 
proctologist on staff.
