I would have asked him to consider modifying his amendment where he says "Effective December 1. 1985"-and I will skipI would suggest that he insert "and the Peoples Republic of China." I would be willing to wager that the Senator would have rejected that suggestion. which brings the focus to a point that I believe is too often ignored. If the Senator really wants to be punitive toward a nation with a long history of genocide. he ought to think about the Peoples Republic of ChinaRed China Around this place we expect our friends to be perfect. and when we look at communist nations we say. "Well. boys will be boys." So far as South Africa is concerned. I do not know anybody who is in favor of apartheid. nor do I know anybody who will explain to me satisfactorily why there is such a flow of immigration of black people into South Africa. I do wish I had been on the floor when the distinguished Senator offered his amendment. because it would be interesting. very interesting. to see how he would have reacted to my suggestion that he include the Peoples Republic of ChinaRed Chinain his foreign policy invasion of the farm bill.
