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?
