“India and then Pakistan conducted nuclear tests. China transferred nuclear technology to Pakistan and Iran. Now we learn the United States Government may have given missile technology to communist China, the same country that transferred nuclear technology to Pakistan and Iran. But rest assured, we are told, the Chinese communist government has assured us they will not do that any more. It is time for Congress to examine this threat to our national security. It is time for the White House to explain how it is that transferring authority for satellite waivers from the State Department to the Commerce Department was in our national interest. The White House should respond to a recent Pentagon report that concluded that 'Our national security has been harmed' as a result of these transfers arising out of China's rocket failure in February 1996. The President should respond to these questions, Mr. Speaker, before the next nuclear test takes the world by surprise again.”
