            CHINESE INFLUENCE FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER

  (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, I listened with great interest to the 
gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Meehan), and I think there are goals 
that all Members of this House share in terms of public health policy. 
But when the gentleman from Massachusetts starts talking about campaign 
finance, the gentleman from Massachusetts and many on that side of the 
aisle would do well to heed the testimony yesterday of one Johnny Chung 
and would do well to connect the dots because of the relationship of 
the People's Republic of China to the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1996.
  Mr. Speaker, there may be those who smile wistfully, but I do not 
believe our national security is something to be toyed with and to 
fiddle around with while this Nation is in danger of burning.
  The fact is we should stand up, remain vigilant, have the Cox 
committee report released and get to the bottom of Chinese influence 
for sale to the highest bidder, sadly, it seems at the other end of 
Pennsylvania Avenue.
