           DEBATE ABOUT CHINA IS NATIONAL SECURITY, NOT TRADE

  (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, China is methodically developing a 
powerful military presence. China is building and buying missiles, 
tanks, aircrafts,

and submarines. What China has not built, China has stolen from Uncle 
Sam, no less. To boot, China is doing all of this with our money. Beam 
me up.
  The debate about China is not about trade, Mr. Speaker, it is about 
national security. I honestly believe our national security has been 
compromised by turning the Lincoln Bedroom into the Red Roof Inn. Think 
about that statement.
  I yield back over 90 witnesses who took the Fifth Amendment when 
questioned about Chinese bribe money.
