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.
I am introducing legislation today... to cancel this lease with this Chinese front company.
We must be tough and we must be strong, and we must demand a trade relationship that is mutually beneficial.
In Communist China, we have a ruthless dictatorship that is using commercial space activities to help its military someday compete with the United States.
Make no mistake about this: we want to give U.S. industry a stable business environment so they can be more competitive in the international marketplace.
For these reasons, we have provided this office with a steady increase in funding over the next 3 years.
I am pleased to offer this legislation to help make America's commercial space transportation industry more competitive.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce the Commercial Space Transportation Competitiveness Act of 1999.
