Clinton Signs China Trade BillChinese American-owned businesses are to benefitPresident Bill Clinton has signed the China trade bill, a hard-fought victory for the White House that promises to ultimately open markets in the communist country to billions of dollars in U.S. goods and services. Even as he signed the bill, the president was dispatching U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky to Beijing Oct. 10 to nudge the Chinese to complete its agreements to join the World Trade Organization. Talks are stalled as China backpedals on details of its trade accords with the United States and other nations. |

Measure awaits Senate approval Spurred by the plight of a California woman, the House passed legislation Oct. 10 to allow disabled immigrants to become citizens without taking an oath of allegiance. If the Senate agrees, the bill (H.R. 4838), passed by voice vote in the House, would open the door to citizenship for Vijai Rajan, 24, of Anaheim, Calif. Republican Rep. Christopher Cox, who sponsored the bill, had called the Immigration and Naturalization Services handling of the case appalling because the woman suffers from cerebral palsy and other ailments.
