RUSSIAN MISSILE TECHNOLOGY SOLD TO BRAZIL
(House -
June 08, 1995)
[Page: H5701]
(Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WELDON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, they say that actions speak louder than words. In the case of the Clinton administration, that appears to be true.
We have heard from the Clinton administration they are concerned about arms proliferation; specifically, missile technology being sold around the world.
But what are their actions? Mr. Speaker, today's Washington Post headline screams out the record of the Clinton administration. `U.S. Waives Objections to Russian Missile Technology Sale to Brazil.' We now learn the Clinton administration secretly has giv en the go-ahead to allow the Russians to begin to export their technology, while next week on the House floor, on the defense bill, we will hear all of these arguments about adhering to the ABM Treaty.
This is the second case where the Clinton administration has waived efforts to stop proliferation of missile technology. Earlier this year they failed to stop the sale of rocket motors to China, which will be used to enhance their cruise missiles.
This is outrageous. Last evening I wrote to the President a two-page letter asking for a full public discussion and disclosure, with the Congress, about the waiver of the sanctions against Russia and Brazil.
