Mr. President. lately our attention is rivited. and rightly so. on the enormous suffering of the Southeast Asian refugees. a large proportion of which are ethnic Chinese who have been systematically repressed and expelled by the Communist regime in Vietnam. Yet today I would like to make note of repression in a different part of the world. repression which. if not as brutal and destructive in terms of lives lost. is every bit as systematic and enduring. It is furthermore violence done to the mind. to the human spirit and soul. which are the content and meaning of life. I speak of the decadesold restrictions on religious freedom in Romania. especially those aimed at the Catholic.
