Mr. Speaker. last week I reintroduced a bill that is intended to provide a special immigration status for journalists working in Hong Kong. in the event that there is a crackdown on the press after this British colony reverts to Chinese sovereignty on midnight. June 30. 1997. The human rights community and the business community may have different views about the future of Hong Kong. but everyone agrees that maintaining freedom of the press and the free flow of information in Hong Kong is essential to protecting its way of life. The economic miracle of Hong Kong is fed by the free flow of information. not only about market activities and economic trends. but about what is going on in the world.
