I rise in opposition to this amendment because it is a cruel amendment. It is aimed at human beings in the world who are caught in the middle of a power playhuman beings who are caught in the middle of an international struggle for power about which they can do nothing. If it passes. you are going to say to a hungry African kid. "You will starve if your leader lets Red China into the U.N." And. you are saying to the Arab kid with flies on his eyes. "You will suffer. you will be tortured if your leader votes to let Red China into the U.N." And you are saying to the Asiatic mother. "You can watch your kid die. you can watch the infant mortality rate grow and grow if your leader votes to let Red China into the U.N." How will we look in the eyes of the world if we adopt such a course? I. for one. am not going to be a party to such international political blackmail. and I urge my colleagues to vote down this amendment.
