Mr. Speaker. today we are reminded of one of the gravest outstanding issues in Eastern Europe. as far as religious freedom is concerned. I am referring to the continued enforced presence of Cardinal Mindszenty as a political refugee at the American Embassy in Budapest which now has lasted almost 11 years. How can we think about trade expansion. most favored nation clauses. cultural exchanges. and technical information releases with a Communist country that fails even to conform to the minimum of international standard. the respecting of the highest church officials of its people? How can one speak of liberalization and religious freedom when the one archbishopric is unfilled. the other is filled by a man who is gravely ill and is over 75 years of age. and the third one is kept from fulfilling his ecclesiastical functionsI mean Cardinal Mindszentyby an illegal sentence that would not hold up even in a present Hungarian Communist court?
