                 U.S. SHOULD SEND UNITED NATIONS A BILL

  (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 says we will lose our 
vote if we do not give $1 billion to the United Nations. Some vote, 
folks. We have the same vote as countries the size of West Virginia 
trailer parks.
  In addition, we now give three times more than Germany, five times 
more than France, 35 times more than China every year, plus $22 billion 
in peacekeeping. If that is not enough to ban your nukes, while the 
White House prepares to veto America's defense bill, the White House 
wants more foreign aid money from Congress.
  Beam me up here. We should not be sending a dime to the United 
Nations. We should send them a bill.
  I yield back all the wars declared by the United Nations that were 
financed by Uncle Sam and fought by American troops.
