Chris Smith

Thank you very much for that very powerful statement. I yield to the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Nunnelee).

I want to thank my good friend and colleague, Marsha Blackburn, for her exemplary leadership and for her very eloquent statement today. I'd like to yield to Congresswoman Ann Wagner, the gentlelady from Missouri.

One of my top concerns is that we seem to be relearning the same lessons again and again and again.

We seem to be relearning the same lessons again and again and again.

We all deeply mourn the tragic loss of four extraordinarily brave Americans, including our distinguished Ambassador, Christopher Stevens.

Until the Chinese law on organ transplants is effectively implemented, foreign governments should not issue visas to doctors from China seeking to travel abroad.

All countries should strengthen their laws against the crime of trafficking in organs.

I urge Congress to adopt legislative changes to limit health care insurance coverage for those who receive organs from unknown sources.

I ask Congress to adopt legislative changes, to prohibit patients going abroad to receive illegal organ transplants, or at the very least, congress could require the patients to register their operations with the Department of Public…

I urge the United States government and anyone with any knowledge of organ harvesting to publicly release all evidence they have with regard to China's use of prisoners as a source of organ donation.

It seems a no-brainer that holding abusers to account, they should be before a court of law.

Bring it on. I would say to the Chinese Government, we need to be very serious about abuse.

When you're talking about abusers, any collateral damage that might be done if it has any mitigating effect on the abuse is well worth it, in my opinion, which is why I think we need to promulgate lists.

The State Department celebrated the one millionth visa granted to an American citizen just a few months ago, but this Chairman--me--I have been denied a visa, as have members of our staff, to travel to China because we've raised the case…

The U.S. Government should speak out clearly to the CCP regime that no such thing could happen in this world.

If we do not respect human rights, if we do not protect human rights, we cannot be called a human being.

It seems to me that a very focused sanction of this kind that says to individuals who engage in barbaric practices, well, at the very least you're not allowed to come to the United States.

I introduced a bill called Jacob's Law that would say that anyone who is engaged in human rights abuse against an American will be denied a visa to the United States.

In 2004 I authored the Belarus Democracy Act, which also has a visa ban in it.

Both the previous administration and the current administration has so inadequately enforced it, that only some 27 people have been denied entry into the United States.

I authored a law that empowered the U.S. Government to deny visas to anyone who is involved with forced abortion or forced sterilization.

I would like to conclude my testimony by thanking the leadership of Congressman Smith and Congressman Andrews...

I would not be surprised--in fact, there is some evidence to suggest--that those bodies come from Falun Gong practitioners.

If our citizens know that if you go to China to receive an organ that another person has to die, I think our citizens would stop going there.

Are we doing enough, the United States, the President, the Congress? How is the United Nations doing on this?
