I rise in strong support, strong support of the Coble amendment. The gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Coble) and I have worked diligently over the years, I would say that we probably put in thousands of hours over these last four years…
Mr. Speaker, the WTO is a majestic dream that predictably will become Americans' worst nightmare. The lure of more open trade with hundreds of countries is being used as a disguise for an awesome transfer of power and authority that will…
Mr. Speaker, today both sides agree on the importance of today's vote. This is not a vote about severing ties with China or isolating China, which is absurd. This is not even about trade with China, frankly, just free trade anyway. It is…
What a travesty it is that what we have got, and this is as I have repeated in that debate several times, the essence of what is being decided is whether or not major businessmen in the United States can invest in building manufacturing…
Mr. Chairman, today we have heard many things that do not really represent a real analysis of what PNTR is all about. We have been told that PNTR means there are no concessions on our part. Give me a break. I mean, no concessions? We have…
This resolution commemorates the 25th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and expresses a tribute to the Americans and South Vietnamese who gave their lives in the cause of freedom in that conflict. The international press reports…
I will vote for H. Res. 429 because I agree that it is right and proper for this House to condemn the racist and xenophobic statements of Jeorg Haider, who until a few weeks ago was the leader of the Austrian Freedom Party. Mr. Haider's…
first and foremost I want to congratulate the gentleman from New York (Mr. Gilman), the chairman of the Committee on International Relations, for stepping up to the plate at a time when the American people are being hurt and being hurt…
I would like to have 200,000 Americans have those jobs. H-1B Visas is nothing more than a reneging on the promise to the American worker that, when supply and demand means that their wages will go up, that we will, instead, import people…
Let me say that 20 years ago when we talked about NATO I was one of NATO's biggest boosters. As a speech writer for Ronald Reagan during the height of the Cold War, I worked to strengthen NATO and worked diligently to see that NATO would…
every day America is losing one of our most precious resources. This resource provided our country what it needed to overcome the economic calamity of the Great Depression. It was a resource that saved the world from the twin threats of…
Recently we have, of course, seen a terrible situation where young Christians were murdered and attacked by someone down in Texas. Does the gentleman believe that perhaps some of this vitriol he is talking about could have resulted in that…
2 days ago, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, told reporters that he hopes the U.S. military will resume contacts with the Communist Chinese military. At the very same time that Secretary Cohen was speaking, in Shanghai…
This is insanity. It is an insane policy to call this type of regime our strategic partner.
This acknowledgment of the type of technological disaster that we are in right now started 2 years ago.
We have a policy that makes no sense, that is contrary to our interests in dealing with a regime on the mainland of China that hates everything that the United States stands for.
How can we, if we believe that to be true, consider the world's worst human rights abuser as our strategic partner?
We must be tough and we must be strong, and we must demand a trade relationship that is mutually beneficial.
The Clinton policy of treating Communist China as a friend... has resulted in putting the United States in grave danger.
I am introducing legislation today... to cancel this lease with this Chinese front company.
We will pay dearly for this nonsense. Our young people will face a threat that they should not have to face because of this indefensible, totally indefensible policy.
Mr. Speaker, Jackson-Vanik, this waiver we are talking about, yes, it deals with immigration. For the record, I have a statement issued by the United States embassy in Bangkok on July 14 of this year stating that the orderly departure…
It has been 1 year since President Clinton issued the first Jackson-Vanik waiver for Vietnam. Unfortunately, there has been no progress concerning democracy and human rights in Vietnam. And more specifically, in violation of Jackson-Vanik…
