My reservations are not based on opposition to trade with the Soviet Union per se but rather on the belief that such trade must be conducted on a realistic basis in which American interests and concerns are protected and where we get fair value in return for any concessions we make. So far. I have yet to see this attitude reflected in our dealings with the Soviets. In conclusion. I should like to return to the subject of freedom of emigration. for. as important as this concept is. it is of little benefit to the citizens of such captive nations as Latvia. Lithuania. and Estonia. which have been invaded and annexed by the Soviet Union. The only answer to the plight of these people. whose homelands are occupied by Soviet troops is to restore the national independence which they enjoyed before the Russians intruded.
