China also has $23 billion in unused international creditsdo they really need the additional $2 billion from the United States at the ridiculous interest rate of 8 percent? Seventh. The President has not made available to the Ways and Means Committee. or to the Members of Congress in general. the assurances he claims to be satisfied with that the Red Chinese will follow policies to substantially promote the goal of free emigration. We have received no documentation of Chinas commitment to this requirement of the JacksonVanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974. We have only the Presidents assurance that he believes the requirements have been "satisfied." That is not sufficient for the passage of legislation as farreaching and important as House Concurrent Resolution 204.
