More threats from Communists: North Korea said, ``We will sell missiles to your enemies, and if you want to stop us, Uncle Sam, you will have to pay us.'' Unbelievable. Sources say that North Korea believes there is a softening of resolve in Washington. Evidently, North Korea believes that a White House that will make no demands on China after China threatened Taiwan and Los Angeles is a White House that will make no demands on communists, my colleagues. Beam me up. North Korea would never say in-your-face threats to Ronald Reagan. Congress better look at these foreign entanglements that endanger our national sovereignty. I yield back any missiles pointed at America.
