First. while we have fundamentally different views of many major Issues and there are clearly defined 1Inits to our relations with those countries. they are nonetheles. important to us. both in their own right and in the context of broader EastWest relations. If we are to deal with them effectively. we must understand them better. a process which is facilitated by the kind of trip which I undertook. Second. the large emigration which we have experienced from the countries of Eastern Europe. including the three which I visited. adds special urgency to our relations. We continue to have emigration. family reunification. and freedom of travel problems which are of deep interest and importance to millions of our own citizens. These are problems which must remain high on our national agenda. Finally. when you travel in Eastern Europe. you cannot help but be struck by the differences among the countries there.
