And what does it say? It says if you oppose. oppose the very government they have Just condemned in order to get aid. you must leave your country. You must become a refugee or you are not eligible to receive 1 cent of the socalled humanitarian aid. That is a riddle and an enigma in this resolution. There is absolutely no way for one of those citizens who wishes to put his life on the line and fight for freedom of the press. and fight for freedom of religion. and fight for freedom of assembly to receive humanitarian aid unless he agrees to become a refugee. Mr. Chairman. the resolution that this House Just passed denies aid to the victims of oppression.
