On the recordJune 9, 1999
I hope that as we go forward with all of these amendments and all of the investigations that will continue, that we do not shed a light of suspicion on individuals or companies or concerns in America. I happen to be blessed in my district with a large Asian-American population, mostly Chinese American. Many of those families have been there longer than my own. They have been there for many generations. Some have been there for only many days. But all of them love America. They came here for a reason. We are the freest country in the world, and we cannot let this espionage investigation jeopardize that.
