       RECORD ADDICTION PROBLEM OF THE WORLD IN THE UNITED STATES

  (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, another underground tunnel was found on 
the Mexican border with a half of a ton of cocaine in it. Dug by hand, 
the tunnel connected a home to a sewer system, ultimately to Mexico.
  Now if that is not enough to dust an angel. This is the sixth tunnel 
found since 1995. Think about it, kids are strung out on heroine and 
cocaine all across America, while drug pushers are running relay races 
with backpacks full of narcotics under and across our borders and 
Congress does nothing, because it is sensitive politically.
  Beam me up. Beam me up here. Shame, Congress. American children are 
strung out, and I yield back a record addiction problem of the world in 
the United States of America.
