                       CHINA LIED, AMERICANS DIED

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, after a year of 
belittling Wuhan virus reports, incredibly, The New York Times 
published a front-page admission last Tuesday acknowledging that the 
Wuhan virus could be a lab leak.
  With the headline ``Lab-Leak Theory Flourishes,'' it cited: `` . . . 
whether the world will ever learn if the virus . . . escaped from a 
Chinese lab. . . . The idea that the virus may have escaped from a lab 
had long been . . . dismissed . . . and shunned . . . for its 
connection with former President Donald J. Trump.''
  The article accurately reviews the refusal of China to allow an 
independent investigation, ultimate control by the Chinese Communist 
Party, 2017 creation of hybrid bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab, the 
bizarre U.S. taxpayer lab funding by the National Institutes of Health 
through EcoHealth Alliance, Wuhan researchers in November 2019 being 
hospitalized, 2012 bat viruses withheld, and an attack in July by Dr. 
Shi Zhengli on President Trump and others demanding that they should 
``shut their stinky mouths.''
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Our sympathy to the 
family of Milton Moore and his wife, Jean, who are beloved civic 
leaders of South Carolina.
