Mr. President. today I wanted to offer an amendment which would increase the annual United States quota of Hong Kong immigrants from 5.000 to 50.000. This amendment is precisely the same as a bill recently offered by Representative JOHN PORTER in the House. Mr. President. I believe this amendment is necessary because of the growing unrest in China which threaten the rights and freedom for the people of Hong Kong. The recent violence in China by the government against unarmed citizens was an ugly response to cries of protests for democracy. When the Communist leaders crushed the democratic aspirations of the Chinese people for free expression and human rights in Tiananmen Square. they did more than murder their own people.
