Hong Kong citizens fear the future. Last year 45.000 fled the colony for Australia. Canada. and the United States. Some 60.000 will leave In 1990. Over onethird of Hong Kong citizens plan to emigrate. and political confidence has plummeted to its lowest level in years. I urge all Members to cosponsor House Concurrent Resolution 79. a resolution I introduced in support of human rights and democracy in Hong Kong. In light of the repeated heavy hand used by Chinese authorities in Tibet and now Beijing. the United States must let it be known that fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong must be guaranteed.
