Mr. Speaker. I rise to add my voice in suppct of the Freedom of Emigration Act which is being introduced today. Under the able leadership of the gentleman from Ohio more than 230 of our colleagues have already joined in this vitally important effort to help eliminate repressive and discriminatory emigration policies of nations of the world. Freedom of movement should be the birthright of every citizen of the world. However. in all too many cases. restrictive policies have infringed on this basic human freedom. Unfortunately. the basis for such restrictions is often grounded in religious persecution and racial intolerance.
