      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.
