On the recordApril 16, 1997
In 1994 Boris Yeltsin fell off a stage in Germany. He then was unable to get off a plane in Ireland. He then was on his way to a summit meeting where he begged for emergency foreign aid; and the White House complied, giving Boris and Russia $12 billion in foreign aid and millions more to build houses for Russian soldiers. In 1994, Boris, to get the money, promised no more weapons sales to Iran. Records now show that with American dollars Boris built planes, tanks, missiles and helicopters and sold them to Iran. Beam me up here, Mr. Speaker. The only thing we should be sending Boris is a counselor from Alcoholics Anonymous. The truth is, under the weight of all that emergency cash Congress, Boris has fallen and he cannot get up. And if we have any money left over, let us use it in America, not Russia. Think about that. And I yield back the balance of any money left over from these Ruskies.
