                        RECOGNIZE FREE CHINA NOW

  (Mr. FUNDERBURK asked and was given permission to address the House 
[[Page H3280]] for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FUNDERBURK. Mr. Speaker, the State Department has launched 
another of its vendettas against the free people of the Republic of 
China. Not content to ostracize Taiwan from the world community, the 
Clinton administration has imposed humiliating sanctions on Free China 
while it curries favor with the brutal communist gerontocracy in 
Communist China.
  Despite an outpouring of goodwill from the American people and the 
Congress, this administration continues its ``One China'' policy with a 
regime which represses its own people and floods America with cheap 
goods made by slave labor. Incredibly, the White House refused to 
permit the President of Taiwan to leave his plane while it stopped in 
Hawaii. President Lee was scheduled to receive the distinguished 
alumnus award from his alma mater, Cornell University, in June. But, 
the Foggy Bottom bureaucrats will not let him in the country. Yet the 
same bureaucrats let Castro and Arafat come to New York and they host 
fancy receptions for Assad and Ortega.
  We have aided and abetted the Communist plan to isolate Taiwan. Once 
a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, only 29 countries now 
recognize Taiwan.
  Mr. Speaker, Taiwan has been a loyal ally for 50 years. It is the 
world's 19th largest economy. In the name of justice we must fully 
recognize Taiwan, return her to the United Nations, and turn our moral 
and economic force against the real villains--the mainland Communists. 
Mr. Clinton, recognize Taiwan now.
