            DOES OUR CHINESE FOREIGN POLICY MAKE ANY SENSE?

  (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, when it comes to China, the wheel is 
turning but the hamster is dead. Check this out. China rips us off for 
$60 billion a year. Then they steal our nuclear and missile technology. 
Then they sell that technology and those missiles to our enemies. Then 
the White House, they panic, and they spend billions of dollars to 
protect America from Chinese missiles pointed at us by our enemies, 
missiles that were financed by American dollars.

                              {time}  1015

  Unbelievable.
  Some of these foreign policy gurus must have fallen into the gene 
pool when the lifeguard was not looking, my colleagues.
  If this is a policy, I am a fashion leader.
  I want to say one last thing: I want to yield back any national 
security we have left, and if this policy with China makes any sense, 
then we all need a lobotomy.
