The imposition of such a barbaric ransom is nothing more than a campaign of extortion perpetrated against a group of people that have suffered too long at the hands of dictatorial suppression. It is a policy which violates the fundamental human right of a person to live where he choses. and. as such. cannot be tolerated by freedomloving peoples. Indications are that these fees will reach levels of between $5.000 and $37.000 per emigrant. This amount is in addition to the requirement that emigrants surrender homes and possessions without compensation and must also forfeit pensions and other benefits. Together they form an economic barrier equal in purpoes to the barrier of brick and steel standing in Berlin. I strongly urge that our country make absolutely clear. in both words and deeds. that the people of the United States will not stand idly by and watch international blackmail being committed.
