  CONGRESS SHOULD FIRE CIA AND SUPPORT HOMELAND FOR PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Reports persist that there are still a growing number 
of Arab people opposing their own governments. Now, if this is true, 
the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan could be toppled, 
thus destabilizing the entire world. Yet nothing, my colleagues, from 
the Central Intelligence Agency.
  This is ridiculous. We spend $40 billion a year and we get these 
reports from Fox and CNN. Beam me up. I think the Congress of the 
United States should fire the Central Intelligence Agency and put on 
contract Fox and CNN.
  I yield back the fact that Congress should also support a homeland 
for the Palestinian people before this fiasco escalates to World War 
III.
