Mr. Speaker. since the Trade Reform Act is still before the U.S. Senate. it seems appropriate again to ask whether or not detente is real and whether or not the U.S.S.R. is really mellowing? In one respect she surely is not and by that I mean the right to free emigration and travel by her citizens. Two recent incidents confirm this. The first involves the efforts by the mother of Simas Kudirka to travel to the United States on a visit. Kudirka. it will be recalled. is still serving a sentence in a forced labor camp for attempting to defect to the United States in 1970.
