Speech #990019782

I want to commend the State Department. the Justice Department and the authorities In California. particularly the Daly City police. for their diligent efforts to pursue justice in this case and urge my colleagues to give their unanimous support to House Concurrent Resolution 110 in an effort to show the solidarity of the U.S. Congress in support for the concerns of Americans of Taiwanese descent. American civil liberties must never be considered fickle and less applicable to immigrants from an Asian or African country than to emigres from Northern Europe. Finally. lest my colleagues think we are talking about an abstract problem. I would like to bring to the attention of the House the case of a leading citizen of my State of Iowa.
