LET US GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY TO THE PEOPLE'S
REPUBLIC OF CHINA
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, in the wake of shocking revelations of
Chinese espionage, and the unlawful and unauthorized transfer of
nuclear technology from our Nation to the People's Republic of China
and the curious coincidence that the Clinton-Gore campaign took Chinese
money in the 1996 presidential campaign, let me propose four immediate
steps that this House should take.
Number 1, Mr. Speaker, let me call on the President. If he wants to
get to the bottom of this scandal, as his spinners suggest, this
President should release forthwith the report of this House's select
committee headed by the gentleman from California (Mr. Cox) into the
entire episode.
Number 2, I should point out, Mr. Speaker, 60 colleagues have joined
me in signing a letter to the chairman of our Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Goss),
urging him to conduct his own hearings since the Cox committee will
soon lapse.
Number 3, I would call on this Congress to close our national
laboratories to these so-called cultural exchanges because what they
are are pilfering--our technology.
And Number 4, Mr. Speaker, Sandy Berger must go.
