WHITE HOUSE AGREES TO TRANSFER OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TO COMMUNIST CHINA
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, to follow the comments of my colleague
from Ohio [Mr. Traficant], the revelations are as real as the headlines
in today's Washington Times: ``China Aided Iran Chemical Arms.'' And
below that, a bolder headline: ``Clinton-Jiang Reach Nuclear Accord.''
Mr. Speaker, let me see if I have this straight. The White House
agrees to a transfer of nuclear technology to the Communist Chinese in
exchange for a written promise that the Chinese will not share that
technology with Iran.
We are not talking neckties or nectarines or notebooks. We are not
talking conventional trade here. We are talking nuclear technology. We
are going to give that to Communist China? Monte Hall would not even
make a deal like that on his old game show.
There must be a sweetener here, Mr. Speaker. I wonder if the Chinese
Government is not going to try to find Ya Lin Charlie Trie.
