                   AMERICA'S RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA

  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, on another matter, I see my colleague, the 
senior Senator from Oklahoma, standing, about to seek recognition. I 
believe he is going to speak on a matter which is extremely important 
to this country, and to this country's long-term interests not only for 
the rest of this decade but into the next century and that is our 
relationship with Asia and America's relationship with China.
  I join my colleague from Oklahoma in the statement he is about to 
make. I agree with the points he is going to make.
  In addition, he is, I understand, to be followed by the chairman of 
the Armed Services Committee, the senior Senator from Georgia, who will 
make a similar statement on the same subject. I strongly endorse and 
commend them for their leadership, the Senator from Georgia and the 
Senator from Oklahoma. It is a matter I have worked assiduously on for 
the last 2 years. I am very heartened by the vision of the Senators 
from Georgia and the Senator from Oklahoma, for their positions they 
are about to announce, and I commend them for those statements.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Chair recognizes the Senator from Oklahoma 
[Mr. Boren].
  Mr. BOREN. Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Montana. I salute 
him for his leadership on this very important foreign policy issue, 
which is soon to confront the President of the United States for 
decision.
