Mr. Speaker. I rise today In support of the motion to override the Presidents veto of H.R. 2712. the Emergency Chinese Students Immigration Relief Act. While I believe the President has been a good manager of U.S. foreign policy. I believe his decision to veto H.R. 2712 was a mistake which Congress must correct. Americans were shocked and outraged last June to see pictures from Tiananmen Square of tanks and armored personnel carriers callously running over peaceful student demonstrators and troops from the Peoples Army turning their weapons against those they were supposed to protect. Hundreds. if not thousands. of innocent people were killed.
