on his recent visit to Venezuela. According to last Sundays New York Times: Washingtons explanation was that In granting asylum to Perez Jimenez and Pedro Estrada. it did no more than it had done for other Venezuelan refugees in the past. For such men. who have been powerful dictators and tyrants. the Attorney General has granted political asylum. For Hsuan Wei. a political dissenter. no. Why? Why this double standard. Mr. Speaker? Why do we grant protection to the mighty who have been identified with everything which is repugnant to Americans. and why. Mr. Speaker. do we refuse to grant it to a humble individual who. in the American tradition. is in difficulty for exercising his right to speak?
