This is a date, the 4th of June, that will forever be recalled as an infamous date, as a date where unarmed people who represented the dignity of an entire nation were slaughtered by the weapons in possession of a totalitarian dictatorship that is still in power, that, as the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Hall) stated, has not only not acknowledged its crime but continues to perpetuate crimes. We have recently learned that the Chinese government is in the business of selling organs, human organs from prisoners, and if the price is right they will simply shoot the prisoner and sell the organ. That is the regime we are talking about. It is a regime that now Mr. Clinton, the President of the United States, is going to visit, and even though I still find it hard to believe, he apparently is going to be received officially for his state visit at the square where those thousands of Chinese innocent students were slaughtered.
