               CONGRESS BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON THE DRAGON

  (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, while everyone is choosing their words 
very carefully, news reports continue to link the Taliban government 
with China.
  On Tuesday, September 11, we all know that the Taliban attacked 
America with one hand; on the same day with the other hand, the Taliban 
signed a memorandum of understanding cooperative agreement with China. 
Something stinks here.
  Bin Laden is in the headlines, but we better be very careful that 
China is not popping up in the details and fine print. To boot, we are 
financing the biggest war machine in world history with U.S. dollars in 
China. Beam me up.
  Mr. Speaker, I yield back the fact that Congress better keep an eye 
on the dragon, and the dragon can reach New York and Washington a lot 
quicker and easier than the Taliban did.
