                       WHO IS MINDING THE STORE?

  (Mr. WELDON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WELDON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, to look at American policy of 
helping China develop its missile and rocket programs, one can only ask 
who is minding the store. While most Americans would think that we 
should not be arming our adversaries, apparently there are some in this 
administration who think otherwise. This is liberalism at its most 
mindless and most dangerous.
  How else to explain the administration's policy of helping Communist 
China develop its missile and rocket program? How else to explain the 
administration's decision to allow the Commerce Department to overrule 
the Justice Department and the Pentagon in matters of national 
security? How else do we explain the administration's decision to help 
China to perfect its Long March missile? How else do we explain the 
administration's policy of arming the same country that reportedly has 
13 long-range strategic missiles pointed at the United States?
  I cannot explain it, and I do not know how the administration is 
going to attack their accusers this time. It is the American people who 
are demanding answers.
