           CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM COMMUNIST CHINA TO DNC

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask a few questions that we 
will never ever hear asked by most of the folks on the other side of 
the aisle. I would like the American people to think about these 
questions and then ask themselves why, why are these questions not even 
being asked by the liberals in Congress?
  Why did Communist China apparently contribute nearly $3 million to 
the Democratic National Committee during the 1996 election campaign?
  Were there any changes in U.S. foreign policy?
  What were the results of all this foreign money into the Democrat 
Party?
  Now, consider the last question very carefully. The problem, of 
course, is that one cannot know whether a change in U.S. foreign policy 
was made because of these campaign contributions or because a change 
was made for legitimate policy reasons based on our national interest. 
These are the concerns that we all should have.
  One last question we will never ever hear from the other side. Who in 
the White House knew about these contributions to the DNC? Maybe the 
other side does not want to know who knew.
