ADMINISTRATION MUST END POLICY OF SUPPLYING MASS DESTRUCTION TO ANYONE 
                         WILLING TO PAY FOR IT

  (Mr. GIBBONS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, last weekend a bomb exploded on a Pakistani 
train. Pakistan in turn immediately blamed India, its longtime 
adversary, for the death and destruction and vowed revenge. For many 
Americans now this tragedy makes a potential of a nuclear exchange 
between Pakistan and India a very, very real occurrence.
  But, Mr. Speaker, the most alarming part of this scenario is that 
this administration and Communist China are responsible for helping 
both Pakistan and India acquire their nuclear technology that now 
threatens the peace in our world. Americans are just learning that this 
administration and its Commerce Department are responsible for selling 
nuclear weapons and missile guidance technology to China. Then China 
nearly provided this technology that Pakistan needed for its fledgling 
nuclear program. Meanwhile U.S. companies like Digital and IBM were 
playing a huge role in India's advances by supplying them with 
supercomputers.
  Mr. Speaker, this administration has let the fire-breathing nuclear 
dragon out of its cage. The time has come for this administration to 
end its policy of promoting and licensing mass destruction to anyone 
who is willing to pay for it.
