Many of these students in the United States who were involved in demonstrations here are afraid with good reason to return to China. We must ensure their safety. As long as they do not have permanent legislative protection they will live in fear and their families will be subjected to threats and harassment. Mr. Speaker. today in a unified voice we must override the veto of the Emergency Chinese Students Immigration Relief Act. We will be accomplishing two very important functions. We will be demonstrating our support for the Chinese students both here and in China. as well as sending the proper signals to the Chinese Government that we will not tolerate its violently repressive actions.
