We. in the House of Representatives. will be called upon to consider legislation beneficial to the Soviet Union in the field of trade. including the granting of mostfavored nation status to Russia. Commodity Credit Corporation loans. ExportImport Bank credits. change in Overseas Private Investment Corporation legislation to allow Soviet credits. I will certainly support efforts to impose the condition on any such legislation that ransoms for prospective emigrants be abolished. It is my hope that the Supreme Soviet which meets next week will abolish these practices voluntary and in response to protests from around the world. The Congress must do more to convince other nations that we will not grant favored legislative treatment to them and then turn our backs on conduct which violates basic international principles.
