                     CHINA SHIPPING WEAPONS TO CUBA

  (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, the State Department now admits that 
China and Cuba have signed a military agreement, and China is shipping 
weapons into Cuba. But the State Department said, and I quote, ``we are 
not sure if those weapons are lethal''. Unbelievable. Every American 
knows those are not 4th of July fireworks that China is shipping to 
Cuba, Mr. Speaker.
  Think about it. China is now selling weapons to Cuba. Castro hates 
America. Cuba is 90 miles away from America. Beam me up. What is next? 
A Chinese missile 90 miles away from the United States of America. I 
yield back the next bay of dragons in America's history.
