On the recordJanuary 28, 1994
The Senator could not offer a more fair proposition, Mr. President. Senator Kerry has already voted for this amendment once at the time it was passed, and there have been only two minor changes for clarification. The television camera may not be able to focus on this amendment because we took out of the Congressional Record the exact text that was enacted. All that we have done is to add the words ``sterilization in violation of Chinese Communist Party directives on population, or who demonstrate that they have experienced persecution on account of such refusal.'' I had that put in, Mr. President, to keep out any interlopers or anybody who has contrived a reason to come into this country. So the Senator's proposition is entirely fair. I might note that I have advised that Senator Simpson wants a second degree to this amendment which is fair enough because he, too, is a fair man and a good friend. So what shall we do?
