Mr. Speaker. we are here today voting to override a Presidential veto. While this Congress was out of session. President Bush vetoed H.R. 2712. the Emergency Chinese Adjustment of Status Facilitation Act. Due to this action. over 32.000 Chinese students in this country are vulnerable to deportation. their fate subject to an administrative decision. The recent visit to China by Mr. Scowcroft and Mr. Eagleburger represents a policy of appeasement and reconciliation to a group of hardline. repressionary politicians of the type we have seen recently toppled in Eastern Europe. It seems a bit too soon for two of our highest officials to knock at the door of U Peng and Deng Xiaoping asking to rework our political and economic ties.
