i was a co-chair of the tom lantos human rights commission for many years and for four years i was the chair of the congressional executive commission on china and i've authored the uyghur forced labor prevention act, the tibetan policy and support act. i know what it means to act when we have serious disagreements with the chinese government. both those bills became law. and i also recognize at the same time that we have a trade relationship with china. and that is important. and we want to make clear that we're not -- we don't want to seek a wider conflict. so i feel like i have a little bit of a leg to stand on when i question kind of the seriousness of much of what we do here. i wanted to say, i appreciated the thoughtfulness of your testimony and the expertise you bring to this topic. but in your written testimony, mentioned the 2013 acquisition of smithfield foods by what is now called the w.h. group, a chinese company that as chairman gallagher noted in his testimony, has ties to the p.r.c. government. and smithfield now controls about 1/4, 1/4 of all u.s. hog production and it

tom lantos, california. louise slaughter of new york and gary condit of california. what do you remember about the 1995 hearings, mr. jackson? there was a manifestation of what had happened in 1994. those congressional elections in which the newt gingrich so-called revolution basically took over the house. like i said, they were more conservative. they were harder edged. they had intense support from gun rights groups. and also, frankly, some support from anti-government groups. gingrich and his allies used that energy to help get themselves elected. so while bill mccollum was pretty much a moderate guy from florida, there was the bob barr's of the world. and steve schiff. i remember being very conservative and very aggressive on the idea that it was the federal government's fault about what happened in waco. i have a parliamentary inquiry. please, please state your nature of your inquiry. chairman, for the last days, some of us who are concerned about the integrity of this hearings and about the cloud that still hangs over the involvement of the national rifle assoc
