On the recordMay 20, 1998

I wanted to just address this issue of high tech transfer from perhaps a slightly different point of view. I offered an amendment or I asked that an amendment be made in order by the Committee on Rules which I am terribly disappointed was not. It has to do with Hong Kong and transfer through Hong Kong of technology to China. There are currently two separate sets of export laws that apply to China and Hong Kong. Everyone here knows that in 1997, Hong Kong came under the rule of China. And yet we continue to have these two separate sets of laws. So this morning in a Joint Economic Committee hearing, we asked some very knowledgeable witnesses, who, frankly, are associated or have been associated with the CIA, whether our concerns are valid on this issue.
