SHOCKING REVELATION THAT WHITE HOUSE IS HELPING COMMUNIST CHINA WITH
ITS MISSILE PROGRAM
(Mr. NEUMANN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. NEUMANN. Mr. Speaker, of all the scandals coming out of the White
House, this scandal is perhaps the most disturbing of all. I am talking
about the shocking revelation that the White House is helping the
Communist government develop its missile system.
Do we, as a nation, understand that what we are doing is sending them
the technology to allow them to aim missiles at the United States of
America, while when we here in our Nation do not even have the ability
to shoot
[[Page H3493]]
down one of these missiles should China decide to launch them at us?
We do not know if the administration gave this waiver to the Loral
Company because the chairman of the board, Bernard Schwartz, was the
Democrats' top donor in 1996 or not. But whether the administration did
it for money, the scandal is still beyond comprehension.
If this administration actively helped the Communist government to
launch and to develop its ``Long March'' missile, we deserve an
explanation and we deserve the explanation right now.
