The legislation provided protection through 1994. Since then. the administration has provided administratively the same protection as the bill. and President Bush has personally assured me that no Chinese student will ever be compelled to return to China to face persecution for his or her beliefs. No Chinese student will be deported by sustaining the Presidents veto. Second. honest argument about the Presidents veto of H.R. 2712 and the legitimate concerns of the Chinese students have been sacrificed in the naked pursuit of political advantage. When I returned to Washington I was gravely disappointed by the extreme partisanship that had come to characterize this debate.
