                                 CHINA

  (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, something does not add up. China is 
taking $80 billion a year out of our economy now in trade surpluses, 
and reports say that China is buying tanks, planes, submarines and 
missiles with our cash. There are also reports that further say, my 
colleagues, that with our cash they are pointing their missiles, that 
we bought, at America.
  And after all this, if that is not enough to bust your balsam, 
Presidents Ford and Carter endorsed President Clinton's plan to grant 
China Most Favored Nation trade status, now called normal. Normal, my 
two pairs.
  Beam me up, my colleagues. Ford, Carter and Clinton will not get it 
until there is a Chinese missile shoved right up their assets.
  I yield back whatever they are smoking at their press conferences.
