That is not the case in most countries. So I am hopeful. and I am now fairly confident. there will be some congressional involvement in this summit. One of the things I am glad has not occurred. however. as sometimes does is thatof course. we are free here and should speak out on whatever we wantoften you see a whole series of senseoftheCongress resolutions that are not very conducive to having a good meetingsome of them saying. well. if you do not behave. we will take away your visas and all that sort of business. which may have merit but it does not seem it is useful as we come up to a summit with the intention to try to improve the relationships we have. I think those things are counterproductive. as is the case generally with sanctions. sanctions do not work. There are less than a handful of objectives that the Chinese simply cant get somewhere else.
