Mr. Speaker. I would say to the President: Mr. President. your approval ratings may be skyrocketing. but that will not stop Congress from doing the right thing on the Chinese student visa issue. This House and the American people will not stand by and watch these students returned to the butchers of Tiananmen Square should your administrative remedies fail. We in Congress respect your desire to maintain flexibility in conducting foreign policy. But we do not believe that the thousands of Chinese students in the United States should be pawns in an international game of chess with China. This country was electrified by the courage and passion of the throngs of students who took on their repressive government and its tanks.
