Speech #960191766

Mr. Speaker. on May 1. 1979. Radio Free Europe broadcasted a 45minute interview with Valerian Trifa. a naturalized American citizen who is alleged to have incited a pogrom against the Jews in Bucharest. Romania. during World War I. No mention was made during the broadcast that the Department of Justice had initiated proceedings against Trifa in May 1975 to strip him of his citizenship because of his alleged participation in war crimes. Although I was deeply concerned that Radio Free European entity funded almost entirely by congressional appropriationschose to interview an individual accused by the Justice Department with concealing his complicity in war crimes.
