CHINESE THEFT OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED THREAT BY A GENERATION

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, the Rosenbergs were executed for giving the 
former Soviet Union secret information which allowed them to advance 
their atomic weapons program by 5 years.
  The Chinese theft of nuclear weapons technology which has recently 
occurred under this administration has advanced the threat to our 
Nation by a generation.
  This administration loves to say we have to do this, we have to do 
that for the children. Think of how much American children's lives have 
been endangered by this administration because of its lax security 
measures.
  Campaign contributions from the head of the Chinese military 
intelligence to the Clinton administration; and this administration's 
response, we need campaign finance reform. They do not even follow the 
laws in the books that we have now.
  Now the Clinton administration screams for gun control. Yet, they 
invite Chinese arms dealers to coffees at the White House, yes, for 
campaign donations. Unbelievable.
