                         CHINA AND HUMAN RIGHTS

  (Mr. STARK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, my constituent, Dr. Harry Wu of Milpitas, CA, 
a Chinese-born American citizen, has campaigned to publicize conditions 
in the Chinese labor camps. He has recently been arrested and charged 
with espionage by the Chinese government, and he could face execution 
if convicted. Dr. Harry Wu's only crime is exposing the true conditions 
and purposes of these Chinese labor camps.
  Our message, Mr. Speaker, to the Chinese Government and to the world 
must be crystal clear. No American citizen shall be arrested and 
mistreated anywhere in the world without all Americans being threatened 
and all Americans responding.
  The Congress will soon be considering most-favored-nation trade 
status with China. The Chinese are currently running a $36 billion a 
year trade surplus with us. Without MFN, Mr. Speaker, most of its 
exports will cease. Let us make Dr. Wu the $36 billion man and withhold 
MFN from these barbaric goons.
