            BUREAUCRATIC NINCOMPOOPS DRAFTING FOREIGN POLICY

  (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, reports say that Russia is helping Iran 
to build a missile capable of hitting America. Let us check this out. 
America spends billions on Star Wars to protect us from a missile 
attack. Then America, out of the goodness of our heart, helps the 
Russian space program by giving them billions that they cannot raise 
for themselves.
  In addition, America gives billions of dollars in foreign aid to 
Russia. Think about it. Then Russia turns around and gives American 
foreign aid money to Iran to build missiles targeted at American 
cities. Beam me up. I ask, I ask, what bureaucratic nincompoop is 
drafting these foreign policies? It must be Boris Yeltsin.
  I yield back the madness of this stupid foreign policy.
