It must be pointed out that the policy statement in the preamble of the Foreign Assistance Act makes it quite clear that "any distinction made by foreign nations between American citizens because of race. color. or religion in the granting of. or the exercise of personal or other rights available to American citizens is repugnant to our principles." The. policy statement subsequently makes the explicit point that any nation which acts in this way should be denied assistance. It is abundantly clear that the Polish government has violated this principle. By denying visas to American bishops it has practiced religious discrimination. This action on the part of the Polish government may bring about a review of U.S. programs of policies toward Poland. Certainly this would be the case should the Polish Government refuse to allow the Polish primate.
