Madam Chairman. I rise today in very strong support of House Joint Resolution 647. which disapproves the Presidents waiver of existing freedom of emigration requirements for 1990 and thus grants mostfavorednation [MFN] trade status to the Peoples Republic of China beginning in July 1991. The effect of adopting this legislation will be to deny MFN trade status to China. Madam Chairman. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our colleague from New York in introducing this legislation and working for its passage in the House. My distinguished colleague from Illinois. Congressman JOHN PORTER. who is cochairman with me on the Congressional Human Rights Caucus. introduced other variations on this same legislation to disapprove the Presidents extension of MFN status to China.
