The Senate froze the funds because onl le were attending meetings of the Sports i LI, the body that decides fcow much monej ization receives, and because some of the litted inadequate budgets and bought ; 'ithout the approval of the Senat ommittee. 'There's been a 180-degree change in th anizations' situation. They've present) emized, clear budgets; and they have se ctively attending Sports Club Counci ow," said Rajan Shah, head of the Sen ommittee. Previously, several of the clubs sub udgets, budgets with white-out over mista uments with names of advisers who no ised the clubs, Shah said. I *et visa waiver ate fails i Bush authorized the Extended Deferred Departure program in 1989, which allowed students to have their visas extended until . June 5, 1990.

At a Wednesday press conference, Bush , said, "I think there's some genuine feeling L that these students have a very good case, , and what I want to do is make the case that the way to continue reforms and to have re) form go forward is not through isolation l and unilateral congressional action, but through the kinds of contacts that I foresee and encouraging the kind of steps that have ? already been taken."

S. * But many Chinese students feel the Chinese government cannot be trusted to keep its word. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Cal., who authored the Emergency Chinese Adjustment of Status Facilitation Act, said this past summer when the legislation was introduced, "If a single Chinese student can stand up to a tank in Beijing, we should be able to stand up to bureaucracy in America to prevent Chinese citizens from being sent home to an uncertain future." The action comes in the midst of a debate between Bush and members of Congress over the propriety of re-establishing diplomatic ties with the Chinese government. Opponents to the administration's overtures to China say we must put pressure on the Chinese government after the events in Beijing last summer.

"But I want to have some contact" he said. "China is a key player, and I'd like to think that our representations will have them move forward on the human rights side so we can have a more normalized relationship with them." Republican Rep. Floyd Spence voted against the veto in the House on Thursday. "The Beijing government gave us no choice. Congress must send a message to the government that we're no longer going to tolerate the deplorable abuses of human rights. Particularly at a time when victories are being won for human rights in Eastern Europe, we should expect no less when it comes to China," Spence said. vals affect students lungary "The changes are only mtry is on paper.
