                          SAFEGUARDING SECRETS

  (Mr. FOLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FOLEY. Mr. Speaker, my mother makes a great carrot cake. For 
generations the recipe has been a guarded secret. In fact, the recipe 
to our family's carrot cake is probably more secure than this country's 
nuclear secrets. However, based on the lack of concern from the Vice 
President, you would not think our national security was a major issue. 
The Vice President has had no problem taking credit for discovering 
Love Canal, inspiring the novel ``Love Story,'' inventing the Internet, 
and just last week he took credit for the strength of our economy. But 
when this administration has repeated security lapses, putting our 
citizens at risk, he is nowhere to be found.
  The Vice President and the other side of the aisle have spent most of 
their time and energy on this floor worried about political attacks 
when instead we should be concerned about defending this Nation from 
nuclear attacks.
