         CHINESE MISSILES BUILT WITH AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS

  (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 constituents of the gentleman from 
Idaho (Mr. Simpson) were honored to visit our Marine base at Quantico. 
They even got a gift. The token gift is a Communist-made calculator 
with ``Marines'' printed on one side and ``Made in China'' printed on 
the other.
  Unbelievable. First, the Pentagon buys boots made in China. Now the 
Pentagon buys Communist gifts made in China. What is next? Generals and 
missiles made in China?
  This is not the Marine Corps to blame, nor the fine Marines like 
Oliver North. It is the bureaucrats at the Pentagon, and they should be 
stone-cold fired.
  I have asked for an investigation. My colleagues should join me. 
Enough is enough.
  I yield back the fact, while we celebrate Flag Day in our great 
country, China has missiles pointed at us that were built with money 
taken from U.S. taxpayers/paychecks.
