Kudirka comes from Lithuania. he is a gentile. his religion is probably Catholic. It is a Catholic country. I would point out. too. that two of the bestknown names in connection with this struggle for freedom of emigration happen to be Andrel Sakharov. the noted Russian physicist. and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. both of whom are gentile. Finally. the amendment itself Is addressed to all human beings. regardless of their ethnic or religious origin. In our exchange of letters we specifically insisted that visas be issued on a nondiscriminatory basis. I am now quoting from the letter of October 18 addressed to me by Dr. Henry A. Kissinger. This is what he said: Third. applications for emigration will be processed in order of receipt. including those previously filed. and on a nondiscriminatory basis as regards the place of residence. race. religion. national origin and professional status of the applicant. I think that makes it as clear as anything can be and the language of the statutory amendment. of course. makes clear that it applies to all human beings.
