On the recordJuly 31, 1995
I think Harry Wu would want the United States to stand up for him, and I happen to think--again, I cannot say what Harry Wu would think, but I think that China would feel very much slighted as well as insulted in the international community if the American delegation did not go to this conference; in fact, if the conference was not held at all. I think the international community should make that decision.
