   (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, news reports say China and 
Russia will sign a treaty opposing U.S. policy. China and 
Russia say, and I quote: ``America is too powerful and we 
must stymie their missile shield.'' 

   Now, if that is not enough to spike our vodka, we give 
Russia billions of dollars a year in aid. China now takes 
at least $10 billion a month out of the American trade 
surplus. Some experts say it is as high as $20 billion a 
month. 

   Mr. Speaker, we have a trade deficit of $40 billion a 
month. Think about it. It is time to stop this gravy train 
to these Communist pimps, so help me; half a trillion 
dollars a year, and they have missiles pointed at us. 

   I yield back the fact that America, with a half a trillion 
dollars in trade deficit, is an America looking at a 
financial disaster.
