“I am going to vote for the Callahan amendment. I think the gentleman from Wisconsin, Chairman Obey, does about as good a job as anyone in the House, no offense. But let me see if I have figured this out. We give money to Russia. Russia takes the money and they bribe Aldrich Ames. Aldrich Ames, the CIA agent, gives top-level secrets to Russia. We finance CIA treason, buying of our top military secrets with my constituents' hard-earned tax dollars and yours. Mr. Chairman, that is why I am going to vote for Callahan. I think enough is enough. We are trying to help democracy. It looks to me what we are trying to help democracy in Russia, Russia is trying to screw up some democracy in America. Beam me up. It does not add up, folks. I say yes to Callahan. You keep your bribe money, make it Russian bribe money, and the tax dollars in America will stay in America, build some roads and bridges and help perhaps with some schools for our kids.”
