Information Agency (USIA) to release for distribution in this country the film. "Thanksgiving in Peshawar." USIA is prohibited from distributing films it produces in the United States unless the Congress grants an exception through legislation. I believe this film justifies such a waiver. The subject of "Thanksgiving in Peshawar" is the trip that Kirk Douglas undertook to the Afghan refugee camps on the Pakistani border during the Thanksgiving holidays of 1982. Mr. Douglas is well known to us all as the outstanding actor with numerous excellent films to his credit. The purpose of his trip was to see firsthand the plight of the Afghan refugees and the problems that these refugees are creating for Pakistan. Mr. Douglas also conveyed the concern of the American people for the tremendous hardships that the people of Afghanistan face as a result of the Soviet invasion and occupation of their country.
