   UNCLE SAM GIVES MONEY AND TECHNOLOGY WHICH CHINA USES TO THREATEN 
                                AMERICA

  (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, let us see if this makes sense: Uncle Sam 
gives billions to Russia, Russia uses our money to build missiles and 
warships, Russia then sells those missiles and warships to China, China 
then aims those Russian-made missiles, built with American cash, back 
at Uncle Sam.
  Now, if that is not enough to ignite our plutonium, Uncle Sam is 
about to give more billions to Russia. I ask, is Uncle Sam a masochist 
or what, here?
  The truth is, the policy ``Trust but Verify'' has turned into ``Pay 
and Pray.'' Beam me up. I yield back China's buying and spying and 
Russia's crying and lying.
