Speech #930020078

I am glad today to join Senator JACKSON. Senator JAVITs. and Senator RIBICOFF in announcing a most important amendment to any proposed trade legislation which may come before this body. The amendment which is being announced. with the overwhelming support of the Members of this body. is quite simply designed to insure that the United States does not grant trade concessions to countries such as the Soviet Union. which chose to impose a repressive and unconscionable ransom on emigration. I would hope the Soviet Union would understand the strength and the interest of the United States in its efforts to persuade the Soviet Union to relinquish their discrimination against people who want to leave the country. Since the end of World War II.
