Mr. President. I rise in support of the override of the Presidents veto of the Emergency Chinese Immigration Relief Act of The President should not have vetoed this important legislation. which was approved unanimously by both the House and Senate with virtually no opposition. We should override the Presidents veto and provide greatly needed legal protection to Chinese students in the United States who fear the very zeal threat of persecution if they return to China. The brutal Tiananmen Square massacre was among the worst human tragedies the world has ever witnessed. Brave Chinese students were ruthlessly murdered under orders from the Chinese Government simply because they had the courage to speak out for democracy and freedom.
