                    A QUESTION OF NATIONAL SECURITY

  (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 White House slapped sanctions on 
India because India was conducting nuclear tests. Unbelievable. It is 
like Mike Tyson beating up Woody Allen for failing to fight.
  India is not the problem, White House; China is the problem. And the 
White House policy with China is now not only stupid, Congress, it is 
dangerous.
  China, with our tax dollars, is destabilizing and threatening the 
entire world, and we are putting sanctions on India for protecting 
themselves.
  Beam me up. The truth of the matter is, this White House does not 
have the balsam to confront the real problem, which is China, so they 
kick India around.
  I say it is time, Congress, to develop a sound strategy and show some 
anatomy. We should rescind MFN for China. It is not just about trade, 
Congress, it is about national security.
