On the recordMarch 9, 1999
even though China threatened to nuke Taiwan, reports say the White House had planned to sell sophisticated satellites to a group of ``Chinese businessmen.'' Unbelievable. Thank God the Pentagon intervened. According to the New York Times, this group of Chinese businessmen turned out to be the Red Army. The Red Army, I say to my colleagues. I have said it before, and I will say it again. With policies like this, I believe we should hire a proctologist and assign him to the White House to do some training with their bureaucrats. I yield back what national security we have left.
