Mr. President. today we are considering whether to override the Presidents veto of a bill granting immigration relief to about 40.000 Chinese students. here in our country. who face the danger of being forced to return to their homeland. This bill passed both sides of Congress last year by overwhelming margins. The President tells us that we cannot afford to anger our ally in BeijIng. China has told the United States that if the United States Congress publicly extends immigration relief to the Chinese students. that there will be a price to pay. In my State of Montana. Mr. President. we have over 100 Chinese students and scholars. and their families.
