I have introduced S. 810. "The China Sanctions and Human Rights Advancement Act." This bill would implement the findings of the current Sense of the Senate Resolution. Let me discuss the provisions of this bill. Under S. 810. the United States Government would refuse visas to human rights violators. including high ranking Chinese officials implementing and enforcing directives on religious practices. The same would go for those involved in the massacre of students in Tianenman Square. To allow a proscribed individual into the United States. the President would have to send Congress written notification explaining why this would be in Americas national interest and override United States concerns about Chinas human rights practices.
