I rise in opposition to the resolution approving the extension of nondiscriminatory trade treatment to the PRC (Peoples Republic of China). A number of issues have been discussed today as reasons for denying mostfavorednation trade treatment to China. The questions of assurances by the President on emigration. repayment of existing debts. and compensation on Chinese bonds are all valid arguments against this resolution. An equally valid consideration is the concern about transfer of technology. which also deserves more careful thought. Before the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviets. there was real concern among many of us about the wisdom of providing technologyand credits to pay for that technologywhich would be instrumental in contributing to the military advance of China.
