I believe that has been his intention and commend him for it. Another area of concern with this veto relates to the Armstrong provision in the bill. authored by our distinguished colleague Senator ARMSTRONG of Colorado. That provision permits granting refugee or asylee status to Chinese who flee coerced abortions or forced sterilizations. The sad fact is that such practices do occur in China. Under current law. people fleeing from China for these reasons have great difficulty in trying to enter the United States as refugees. or seek to asylum here. H.R. 2712. with the Armstrong provision. would make clear that those people could enter the United States as refugees or asylees. If the veto of this bill is upheld. we would remain under current law. which does not reach out to Chinese fleeing forced sterilization and abortion in their homeland. For the reasons I have stated.
