last weekend a bomb exploded on a Pakistani train. Pakistan in turn immediately blamed India, its longtime adversary, for the death and destruction and vowed revenge. For many Americans now this tragedy makes a potential of a nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India a very, very real occurrence. But, Mr. Speaker, the most alarming part of this scenario is that this administration and Communist China are responsible for helping both Pakistan and India acquire their nuclear technology that now threatens the peace in our world. Americans are just learning that this administration and its Commerce Department are responsible for selling nuclear weapons and missile guidance technology to China. Then China nearly provided this technology that Pakistan needed for its fledgling nuclear program. Meanwhile U.S. companies like Digital and IBM were playing a huge role in India's advances by supplying them with supercomputers. Mr. Speaker, this administration has let the fire-breathing nuclear dragon out of its cage. The time has come for this administration to end its policy of promoting and licensing mass destruction to anyone who is willing to pay for it.
