Speaker. a couple of weeks ago. several Members and I had a meeting with Richard Gere. Members know who he is. he Is a Hollywood celebrity. He is the cochairman though of the International Campaign for Tibet. Mr. Gere. who travels to the Tibetan refugee camps in India frequently and was with me in Taiwan just a couple of weeks ago. told us how in 1994. when President Clinton shamefully delinked human rights from trade with China. Communist prison guards began immediately beating prisoners telling them that no one was going to help them now. That is not JERRY SOLOMON saying that.
