                WASTING AMERICA'S TAX DOLLARS IN RUSSIA

  (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, since 1992, Uncle Sam has given Russia 
billions of dollars to dismantle their weapons of mass destruction. 
Now, who is kidding whom? Instead of dismantling, reports say Russia 
has built missiles, submarines, and more nuclear warheads. If that is 
not enough to gargle with vodka, the report said that Russia just 
bought 11 strategic bombers and 500 additional cruise missiles. To 
boot, they say what they did not spend, those Communist stole and 
pocketed for themselves.
  Unbelievable. Whatever happened to President Reagan's policy: Trust, 
but verify. It has turned into turn the other cheeks.
  Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Boris might have fallen, but he keeps 
getting up with our cash.
  I yield back the nuclear waste of our tax dollars spent in Russia.
