On the recordSeptember 21, 1995
Well, it was a decision that we made together. I strongly felt that she ought to go. Everybody said that it was bad politics--the people who said that if she went it would be condoning their human rights record and then if she went and said it was strong, that she would upset our developing relationship with the Chinese. But I felt that she has invested so much of her life in the welfare of women and children in our country and then around the world, and I thought that she could speak for our American values and about conditions that exist, not only in China but in other countries, even here in the United States, that are bad for the future of women and little girls--that it would be a good thing. And I think now everyone sees that it was a wonderful thing for our country and for the cause of freedom and human rights around the world. Equal Access to Technology Mr. King.

Can we expect equal access for rural America in the future?
