Madam Chairman. I appreciate the gentleman yielding time to me. The gentleman from Pennsylvania has made a statement about Chinese immigration that flatly. is flatly rebutted by the State Department and his own administration. What the State Department says is that the President is explicitly required to determine if extension of MFN waiver to China would substantially promote freedom of emigration. The State Department says. in a statement I have here. that it does not believe that it would. It goes on to say. "Approximately 17.000 Chinese nationals received U.S. immigration visas to travel from the Mainland In 1989." So the gentlemans statement is wrong. contradicted by his own administration.
