                       ARE WE NOT ALL AMERICANS?

  (Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOB SCHAFFER of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I have got some news for 
House liberals in the Democrat party. A violation of the law is not a 
poll. A violation of the law does not depend on how the stock market is 
doing. A violation of the law has nothing to do with vast right-wing 
conspiracies.
  Liberals seem satisfied with the response given by the White House 
about how the Democrat party accidentally raised nearly $3 million from 
Communist China in the last election cycle, and I understand that.
  Liberals are not troubled by the White House discovery that they had 
900 FBI files of their political enemies, and I understand that, too.
  And liberals do not believe that using the FBI and the IRS to smear 
Billy Dale in the White House travel office is an abuse of power, and I 
understand that.
  But I do not understand why liberal Democrats in Congress are silent, 
silent, about the Clinton administration's decision to transfer waiver 
authority of sensitive technology to Communist China from the State 
Department and the Commerce Department. After all, Mr. Speaker, are we 
not all Americans?
