                  TIME TO STOP THE CASH COW FOR RUSSIA

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, the CEO of the Bank of New York has 
admitted to laundering $7 billion; and bingo, surprise, surprise, $5 
billion of it is expected to be Russian dollars that they got from the 
International Monetary Fund.
  Now, if that is not enough to barf up your vodka, the investigators 
say, in addition to that, Russian politicians have secretly stolen $15 
billion, diverted them to bank accounts all over the world, and most of 
the money came from Uncle Sam.
  Unbelievable, Uncle Sam giving billions to Russia to dismantle their 
nukes. They do not dismantle their nukes. They sell their nukes to Iran 
and China. China then aims them at us. Russia comes back, asks us for 
more money, the White House gives more billions.
  Beam me up. I say it is time to stop the cash cow for Russia.
  Madam Speaker, I yield back all the cash the Russian politicians have 
been stealing from the American taxpayers.
