Mr. Speaker. I rise In strong support of the Emergency Chinese Visa Adjustment Act and urge my colleagues to join me In voting for this crucial legislation. While nearly 2 months have passed since the brutal massacre of thousands of Chinese citizens in Tlananmen Square. our shock. dismay. and disbelief about the tragic nature of this event remains strong. The image of Government troops opening fire on Innocent civilians participating in a peaceful protest is repugnant to freedomloving peoples around the world. Tiananmen Square. site of a massive outpouring of support for the basic ideals of freedom. democracy and human rights. was turned overnight Into a bloody massacre of unsuspecting civilians.
