in the wake of shocking revelations of Chinese espionage, and the unlawful and unauthorized transfer of nuclear technology from our Nation to the People's Republic of China and the curious coincidence that the Clinton-Gore campaign took Chinese money in the 1996 presidential campaign, let me propose four immediate steps that this House should take. Number 1, Mr. Speaker, let me call on the President. If he wants to get to the bottom of this scandal, as his spinners suggest, this President should release forthwith the report of this House's select committee headed by the gentleman from California (Mr. Cox) into the entire episode. Number 2, I should point out, Mr. Speaker, 60 colleagues have joined me in signing a letter to the chairman of our Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Goss), urging him to conduct his own hearings since the Cox committee will soon lapse. Number 3, I would call on this Congress to close our national laboratories to these so-called cultural exchanges because what they are are pilfering--our technology. And Number 4, Mr. Speaker, Sandy Berger must go.
