The United States will probably be forced to increase substantially its defense budget. With trade credits and guarantees. the Soviet Union will be able to continue its high weapons expenditures. boost expenditures for economic development. and ironically. exploit its fossil fuel reserves. We need not only free emigration in return for trade credits and guarantees. We need more. We were burned in the Russian wheat deal. Who wants to be burned again? A vote prohibiting trade credits without free emigration is a clear statement from Congress that the United States should drive much more realistic bargains with the Soviets in return for economic concessions.
