Although we long for an easing of global tensions. we must not be so dazzled by detente that we forget the Nations within the U.S.S.R. struggling to preserve their identify and throw off the Russian yoke. I believe that we must continue to protest Soviet treatment of minorities. and to give economic teeth to that protest. For that reason I recently voted to amend the trade bill. My purpose was to withhold "mostfavored nation" status from Russia. until they liberalize their immigration policy. As a nation of immigrants. America must remain sensitive to the needs of individuals who seek political and religious refuge outside their homeland. I voted for and worked to support a bill to finance Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty.
