In each case it seems that a combination of official lethargy and confusion has allowed people to suffer unnecessarily. and against our best traditions and capabilities and interests. Mr. President. just a week ago. members of my staff first made inquiries at the Department of State regarding the incident of the Lithuanian seaman. Regrettably. no answers were forthcoming. So I commend the President for demanding a complete investigation. and I hope that he will make the findings public at an early date. It was to this end that. as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Refugees. I wrote to the Secretary of State yesterday. I ask unanimous consent that the text of this letter and other background information be printed in the RECORD.
