Speech #930161487

I might say to my distinguished colleague that this matter gives me a great deal of concern. particularly in light of the fact that we impose an embargo against Rhodesia. Here we would impose that and yet we do not see fit to do anything with regard to the Arab countries that violate this provision of the resolution and we do not do anything with respect to Russia. As a matter of fact. we are improving our ddtente position with Russia at a time when they have a policy against free emigration. We even are going so far as to have the Jackson amendment considered and offered today in the House with respect to the trade bill because of Russias policy against emigration. yet we go blithely on our way doing business with Russia and buying a great deal of chrome from them. and they in turn buy from Rhodesia. So it seems to me a rather silly policy to follow this kind of policy with regard to one country and disregard it with respect to Russia. I wonder if the Senator from Wyoming would address himself to that point.
