Poland and Hungary are also guilty of creating restrictive religious policies. The citizens of these nations have recently experienced increased and intensified persecution of Catholic and Baptist leaders and followers. Moreover. acting in concert with the Soviet Union. these nations too have virtually closed the doors on emigration. In sum. the Warsaw Pact States continue to enforce the tragic dual policy of repression. which dampens the human spirit. and a ban on emigration for those desiring to flee from repression. Mr. President. it is our duty to remind these countries of the commitments which they have undertaken as parties to the well recognized documents which espouse the fundamental human right of freedom of religion.
