      RUSSIAN POLITICAL LEADERS ARE STEALING AMERICAN FOREIGN AID

  (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, $7.5 billion Russian dollars turned up in 
a bank in New York. Now, what is going on here? Russia is so poor they 
cannot buy toilet paper. When asked about it, fumbling, bumbling, 
stumbling Boris said, ``I'm no criminal. It's not my money.''
  Who is kidding whom? Two and a half million of those dollars were 
traced back to Boris's son-in-law. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Russian 
politicians are stealing American foreign aid. Boris does not need 
American cash; Boris needs Alcoholics Anonymous.
  I yield back all the bleeding hearts in Washington and all around 
America that keep pumping money into Russia.
