               THE IMF PROPOSAL TO GIVE RUSSIA MORE MONEY

  (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, a new report says Uncle Sam gives 
billions of dollars to Russia every year, and the money disappears into 
an offshore bank account. Guess what, much of the money is now reported 
stolen. If that is not enough to bust your balsam, check this out. The 
International Monetary Fund announced today they want to give Russia 
more money.
  Mr. Speaker, I submit, the IMF has brains in their assets. I yield 
back all our wasted taxpayer dollars that are going to Russian fat cats 
partying with our dollars and not even supporting us in Kosovo. Members 
should think about that.
