Mr. Speaker. I am introducing a bill today to allow the distribution in the United States of the USIA film "Thanksgiving in Peshawar with Kirk Douglas." The film is a 15minute documentary of the visit by actor Kirk Douglas to Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan last Thanksgiving. Mr. Speaker. under the terms of the legislation authorizing the U.S. Information Agency. its films and other materials may not be disseminated within the United States. This policy is designed to protect the USIA and our citizens from fears that the Agency might try to influence public opinion in the United States. Although I agree with this policy in general.
