                        THE TIP OF THE EGG ROLL

  (Mr. KINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I think it is important to talk about 
Chinagate figure John Huang because he had a real tough job. As the 
president of his holding company, Hip Hing, a subsidiary of Lippo 
Group, he had to work many, many long hours. See, when one's only asset 
is a vacant parking lot, we would not believe the pressures they are 
under. Nevertheless he had the time to get deeply involved in Democrat 
politics, and when he donated $50,000, no one raised an eye about how a 
vacant parking lot attendant could afford such largess. Of course they 
did not know he was reimbursed by his parent company, the one-half 
Chinese Communist government owned Lippo Group, but now even Democrats 
admit this was an illegal donation and apparently only the tip of the 
egg roll.
