President Bush sent National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft and Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger to meet with Chinas leadersthe same butchers of Beijing who ordered the massacre. Because the American people would not have supported such a mission while Chinas brave students were being jailed. the first trip was made in secret. Furthermore. earlier this year. President Bush vetoed legislation which would have extended visas for Chinese students studying in America who felt threatened by returning to a postTiananmen Square China. Although in the face of severe criticism President Bush finally issued an executive order allowing Chinese students to remain in the United States. Beijing still thumbed its nose at our country by placing new restrictions on students seeking to study abroad.
