 AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE IMMEDIATE EXPLANATION FROM WHITE HOUSE ON AID 
                 TO CHINA'S MISSILE DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY

  (Mr. ROGAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROGAN. Mr. Speaker, why would the United States share some of its 
most sensitive missile technology with Communist China? Did America 
really fight a Cold War and reduce the nuclear threat only to have the 
threat return from a Communist regime that recently threatened to 
launch a nuclear strike on Los Angeles over the Taiwan issue?
  This administration's policy to grant waivers to high technology 
companies that are working to improve China's missile and rocket 
capability is dangerous, reckless, and indefensible.
  The press now reports that 13 of China's 18 long-range strategic 
missiles have nuclear warheads aimed at American cities. And how does 
the Clinton administration respond? It actively works to help China's 
missile and rocket program.
  The American people deserve an explanation of this administration's 
conduct relating to transfers of missile technology to China; and Mr. 
Speaker, they deserve it today.
