Political Quotes

On the recordMay 23, 2000
Even with annual review, as our friend, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur) has pointed out, the right to freedom of belief is explicitly denied to 60 million members of the Communist party of China. The Falun Gong, thousands of their practitioners have been arrested. I heard the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Wolf) on the floor today saying that eight Catholic bishops were arrested. Now here we are on the very day we are talking about a medal for the Pope, who I greatly admire, celebrating his force for spiritual good in this world, China is arresting Catholic bishops. Now, is it going to get better if we have no review, I would ask the gentleman? What does the gentleman think?
