     UNLAWFUL TRANSFER OF MISSILE TECHNOLOGIES WARRANTS IMMEDIATE 
                             INVESTIGATION

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Madam Speaker, I, along with many of my colleagues, had 
an opportunity to hear the Vice President of the United States speak on 
foreign policy matters last night; and, Madam Speaker, the Vice 
President went into great detail of his concern and disdain for the 
transfer of missile technology from the Russians to the Iranians. But, 
Madam Speaker, not one word was uttered by our Vice President about 
concerns of the transfer of our own missile technology to the Chinese 
government.
  There are serious questions that exist, Madam Speaker. Indeed, The 
Washington Post reports this morning that $632,000 in donations to the 
Democrat party were given by Loral Missile Defense System CEO Bernard 
Schwartz, the party's largest single donor in the 1996 election.
  Madam Speaker, this transcends the issue of Democrats versus 
Republicans. As Americans, this Congress needs to investigate the 
unlawful transfer of missile technologies from this government and from 
our defense capabilities to the People's Republic of China.
  Madam Speaker, this House must investigate. There is no other choice.
