SJ Q&A (August 19, 1992)
********
Note: The new information I have obtained indicate that the Chinese
Student Protection Act of 1992 (S. 1216) has not yet passed the
House.  The House vote on August 10, 1992 was to pass the motion
presented by the Chairman of the Judicial Committee to suspend the
rules for the bill.  S. 1216 is now pending in the Committee of the
Whole House.  In the following days, I will post relevant
procedures required for the bill to pass the House, starting from
the Committee of the Whole House (Union Calendar).
