Should we acknowledge that the issues are indeed real ones? I think we should find a way to do that. So there is going to be some real reluctance. in my judgmenthonest reluctance. may I say to my friend from Arkansasto table an amendment from those who nonetheless have questions as to whether or not this amendment should apply to people who engage in activities wherever they engage in them. not just in China. and should apply to top level officials. not just to the 200.000 nationals beneath them who applied for visas. So however people vote on the motionand I hope everybody is troubled by the activity equally and with the same commitment and passion as our friend from ArkansasI believe that will reflect. in their judgment. a decision as to whether or not the issue is an important issue. as I believe and I think all of us believe it is. but also how do we deal with it on a defense authorization bill. That is an honest dilemma that people feel.
