                   WANG GOT GUNS AND CLINTON GOT CASH

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to respond to my Second 
Amendment-loathing friend on the liberal side of the aisle. If the 
administration and its defenders in Congress are so concerned about 
guns, then why did the Clinton administration sign a waiver on February 
2, 1996 for a Chinese gun company to import 100,000 additional assault 
weapons and millions of bullets?
  Here is some information that my colleagues on the other side might 
not want to hear. Four days later, on February 6, 1996, the Chinese 
arms exporter attended a White House fund-raiser; I mean a coffee, that 
raised money, but it was not a fund-raiser. That exporter was named 
Wang Jun.
  In obtaining a visa he had filed a letter from Ernest Green, a close 
Clinton friend and top fund-raiser. The day after he had coffee with 
the President, Ernest Green's wife contributed $50,000 to the DNC. Her 
contribution the year before was $250.
  Can anyone imagine why suddenly Wang got his guns on American streets 
and Clinton got his campaign cash?
