00:06Today I rise because I am outraged by a New York Times report that the Department of Defense has requested
00:13between 50 and 100 million dollars for Viagra, the new sex drug designed for impotent men.
00:20Instead of offsetting this request from its $265 billion budget, Secretary Cohen has requested an increase in the 1999 Military
00:30Readiness Bill.
00:31When the military brass was on Capitol Hill saying that our reasonable belt tightening had resulted in an impotent military,
00:38I guess I didn't fully understand the scope of the problem.
00:41With 50 million dollars worth of Viagra, the entire military industrial complex will be locked, cocked, and ready to rock.
00:50Pretty scary, huh?
00:52But you know, Mr. Speaker, they just don't get it.
00:55With Monica Gate, the Aberdeen Proving Ground sex scandal, and widespread sexual assaults throughout the military,
01:03our Commander-in-Chief and his Secretary of Defense concocted this idea that our military needs this extraordinary expenditure.
01:10Let's have no more talk of this expanding malfunctioning missile salvation operation.
