   NUCLEAR SECRETS STOLEN UNDER OUR NOSES WHILE ADMINISTRATION DOES 
                                NOTHING

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, today we will release the Cox report on 
Chinese spying activities and the impact on national security. But I 
say today, rather than blame the Chinese, we should reflect on our own 
lax standards and security.
  Do the initials ``CIA'' ring a bell? We spend billions on similar 
activities around the world, but we should be more concerned with 
protecting our own vital national security.
  If I were the White House today reading some of the headlines, 
``China Stole Nuclear Secrets for Bombs, White House Seeks to Minimize 
that Type of Problem,'' then I would want to change the subject, too. I 
would want to talk about campaign finance reform. I would want to talk 
about gun control in America. I would want to do anything to change the 
tone and tenor of what has occurred in the United States under this 
administration.
  We have given up valuable secrets, valuable technology, right under 
our noses. We were informed about it. Yet, the President denied anybody 
even told him anything relative to these secrets being stolen. Wake up, 
America. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
