Extensions of credits to the Soviet Union amoumt quite simply to a form of economic aid to the same country we spend billions of dollars to defend ourselves against. Thus. prior to any further economic assistance through lucrative trade agreements with the Soviet Union. we must have some substantial evidence that we are not simply further strengthening a government suppressing their own people or possibly using the benefits of our trade for the promotion of international instability. Only if the Soviet Union openly announces and adheres to freedom of emigration will we have at least a minimal assurance that some trade concessions from the United States are justified.
