I will urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this amendment. controversial though it has been deemed. that passed the House of Representatives with over 350 votes. and. in so doing. to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Chinese Government that religious persecution is repugnant. reprehensible. and that such practices will have consequences. I remind you once again that this amendment simply says: We condemn such practices. Not only do we condemn them. to the extent that we are able to identify those who are involved in those practices. we are not going to sanction your travel to this country by granting you a visa. I dont know how well it can be enforced. I know there are human rights groups out there that monitor what is going on in China.
