                  NO MFN FOR BARBARIC PEOPLE LIKE THIS

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I have a picture here showing Chinese security 
forces lining men up and putting pistols in the back of their heads and 
shooting them, and then they take their kidneys and their cornea for 
transplantations and sell them to people in the West.
  We are going to give MFN to a country like this?
  What baffles me is, as a Member who has served in this body during 
the 1980's when Sakharov was under house arrest, and it was his 75th 
birthday yesterday, and Sharansky was in Perm Camp 35, no Member of the 
Congress would have had the courage to come to the well of this House 
and ask for MFN for the Soviet Union, and yet this administration and 
this Congress are really going to consider doing that.
  Members may not want to hear this, and the administration may not 
want to hear this. This may be the fundamental moral human rights issue 
that this Congress has to deal with.
  Take a look, Members, and I have the film, the 13-minute film. Call 
my office, we will bring it by. Lining men up, putting pistols in the 
back of their head, shooting them, and then taking their kidneys and 
corneas for transplant. No MFN for barbaric people like this.
