On the recordOctober 22, 2015
reserving the right to object, I wish to make a couple of remarks as to why. Senator Cruz, believe it or not, I have actually played a role-- particularly in the 1990s--in helping dissidents be released by the Government of China and had some success. We did that by talking to the government. I think to do this in this way will set back the cause and actually be deleterious to the release of these people, so I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Texas.
