I favor an exception for this film. since it clearly portrays one private citizens view of conditions in a foreign country. rather than our Governments view of conditions in the United States. Every year one or a few USIA films are exempted from the general rule by specific legislation. and that is what I propose for this film. Mr. Speaker. the war against the people of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union has driven some 3 million refugees into Pakistan. In this flim. Kirk Douglas describes the plight of these people as he saw it for himself last Thanksgiving. I believe the film will help our citizens better understand the situation in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
