William Helms: “But China is sitting back laughing at us. They are sitting back laughing at us, and they are going to continue to do…”

On the recordJanuary 28, 1994
But China is sitting back laughing at us. They are sitting back laughing at us, and they are going to continue to do things that this amendment addresses. Let me say that I applaud thus far the position that the administration has taken with respect to textiles. But that hand has not been played out yet, I say to the Senator. And there is nothing wrong with saying, and this Senate said, ``Just a minute here, Red China. This is the way we still feel.'' The former Federal Judge and the distinguished majority leader said it right. I think we ought to just keep on saying it until they do.
