The "Reconnaissance Plane Standoff" with China would present a touchy problem for any US President for whom the imposition of some form of sanction would be about the only prudent course of punishing action. Our new President Bush's limited choice of action may be to cancel the 23 million dollar order of black berets for our US Army that the previous president (Impeached) had placed with Communist China Admittedly, President (Impeached) Clinton would have occupied a better position from which to negotiate since he could have simply imposed sanctions barring any future shipments of our Top Secret, US Strategic Defense Plans to Communist China.
