The Congress expects that the Soviet Union will comply as per the letter exchange. In my view. at least. the means of harassment is not considered to be limited to just the forms described in the letter. There is strong evidence that various forms of harassment and persecution of citizens trying to emigrate are continuing. These reports of intimidation include continued communication cutoffs of those seeking to leave the Soviet Union and interference with letters to Soviet citizens from abroad. The provisions under the amendment we are debating will give the Congress ample authority to review the results of the waiver. and the Congress will definitely use this authority.
