For a point of clarification. I want to say how appropriate the legislation of the gentleman from New York is. Some have said. why should we deny visas? It is the policy of the Clinton administration to deny visas to family members. say. for example. of Canadian businessmen if those Canadian businessmen are doing business with Cuba. Their children cannot get a visa to the United States. If that is the Clinton administration policy. why then would they. and I do not necessarily support that. in fact. I do not. but how can the administration that supports that then turn around and say. but we think it is inappropriate to deny the visa of a torturer and a persecutor of religion in China and Tibet? It is on the subject of Tibet I am going to use a little more of my time. The country report on China and Tibet reports that during the year 1996. authorities increased repression. imprisonment. and abuse or torture of monks and nuns accused of political activism.
