Who are the lobbyists fighting in behalf of those people who are still suffering from the oppression of the totalitarian regimes among the Communist bloc countries? If my colleagues want a breakdown to see what It is costing us with regard to Romania. their exports in millions to the United States. for example. in 1979. were $329.6 million. They granted 1.552 visas that year. That worked out to a ransom per person of $212.371. In 1981. they granted 2.352 visas. exports to the United States were $560.1 million. and the cost in ransom per person through the extension of these kinds of credit was $238.095 per person. The fact is. we are dealing with totalitarian countries that in no way observe the normal rules of civilized nations. I urge my colleagues to support this resolution that would terminate this extension of U.S. credits and subsidies to totalitarian regimes by voting down the motion to table.
