Mr. President. everyone agrees that the policy of the Soviet Union in interfering with the right of their citizens to emigrate. and the policy of levying a substantial fee upon their scientists and professional people before they permit them to emigrate is a medieval. inhumane. indefensible political policy that should be condemned by free people everywhere. and I join in the criticism. and I think it is important that the issue be raised here on the floor of the Senate and be discussed. I think it is important that the President of the United States and the State Department exercise all conceivable influence that they can exercise upon the Soviet Union to change that inhumane policy. Having said that. however.
