James Traficant: “The White House approved a $140 million sale of nuclear technology to a Chinese company that has already sold nuclear…”

On the recordJune 20, 1996
The White House approved a $140 million sale of nuclear technology to a Chinese company that has already sold nuclear technology to Pakistan and Iran. The White House said do not worry, this time the Chinese Energy Corp. has promised not to do this again. Unbelievable. Who is on first? What is on second? America gives money to Russia, Russia sells billions of dollars' worth of technology to China, China sells the technology to our enemies. The White House threatens China, then the White House sells nuclear technology to China, and China says do not worry. Beam me up, here. It is completely evident the left hand at the White House does not know what the far left hand is doing. I yield back the balance of any nuclear reactors that we will be facing in the future.
