ASUO encourages opposition to Bush veto
By Dan Eisler
Emerald Reporter
Opposition to President Bush's expected
pocket veto of a hill allowing Chinese students
to remain in the U S after their visas expire
can l>e expressed by catling his office from the
ASUO office, the ASt JO decided Wednesday
"ASUO really supports this." said Angela
Muni/. ASUO slati- affairs coordinator "Come
in and ask the secretary, the receptionist, or
anybody there and phono the While House,
from KMU Suite 4. Muni/, said
The number is 202-45li-70:iS).
Chinese students abroad are under a lot ot
pressure. Iroth from the Hush administration
and from the mainland Chinese government,
which opposes the bill, she said.
Introduced by Kep. Nancy I’elosi. I) Calil .
the hill, which would give Chinese students
four more years to apply lor new visas, or per
manent residency, passed unanimously in the
House of Representatives and by a voice vote
in the Senate
A pocket veto occurs when the president
does not sign a bill within 10 days after Con
gress has adjourned
Bush has until Saturday to sign the hill,
said Peter Briggs, assistant director for interna
tional services.
. Briggs said approximately HO percent of
more than 40.000 Chinese students in the
United States hold visas. The hill does not
grant political asylum or safe haven. Inil pro
vides an option for students in case of an ad
verse government in China, he said.
The bill comes in the wake of the Chinese
government's June massacre .it Tiananmen
rupture
The mainland Chinese government is up
set aliuiil this bill Ih-i .Rise it lias invested hear
11v m Minding students abroad. and could sul
ler a "lirain dialn' if large nuinljers of stu
dents reipiesl asylum, liriggs said
I'assage ot the lull would "more or less
terminate .in ediK.ntion.il relationship of the
past III-\'l years." liriggs said, adding that
Itusli would like to continue to maintain that
relationship with the (Ihineso government
"I'm very mut.il moved hv this hill." said
a prominent student from the People's Kepuh
lie of China who asked to remain anonymous
in protect himself from retaliation hv the Chi
nese government
Some of the students abroad have returned
to China, and are in prison, forbidden to to,toll,
in have been followed and interrogated, the
student said
The student spec ulated Itusli "personally
wants to keep relations with the Chinese gov
ernnienl because lie's friends with" former
leader Deng Xiaoping, dating from Hush's
days as ambassador to China
"Maybe (Hush) sees the general interest of
the U S. Congress could play the bad guy. he
could play the good guy. and the Chinese gov
ernment does nothing" in response to a veto,
the student said
"People are supporting the democracy
movement, (but) Bush, who is supposed to
support the democracy movement, is going to
veto (the bill) Ilf’s really going to far. even
though he wants to retain the- lies
"lie's saying if lie passes the hill the Chi
nese government will punish the U S I he
