CLINTON WHITE HOUSE AIDS IN CHINA'S MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAM
(Mr. NEUMANN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. NEUMANN. Mr. Speaker, it seems to have taken 5 nuclear blasts in
India, combined with stunning revelations about campaign contributions
from Communist China into the Democrat Party to send America a wake-up
call.
With each passing day, the China scandal gets bigger, more worrisome
and more baffling. It is time the White House explains why it granted a
waiver to the Loral Corporation and others who are helping China
develop its missile and rocket programs.
Instead of trying to block high technology transfers to Communist
China, this administration seems to be encouraging it. Instead of
embarking on a national missile defense program for our country, for
America, this administration is allowing the transfer of technology to
help China develop missiles that may be aimed at the United States of
America. Instead of making nuclear war less likely, this administration
appears to be cooperating in making China a nuclear power.
The result? Well, India runs 5 nuclear bomb tests; Pakistan will
likely follow; even Japan may inevitably reassess its own nuclear
policy.
It is not a question if this technology will make the world a more
dangerous place, it already has.
