President. let me say that I am not caught by surprise by this fiasco at Budapest. Nor should anyone be. The behavior of the Hungarian Government is perfectly consistent with the behavior of the East bloc in general toward the Helsinki accords and toward the whole CSCE process in the past 10 years. What is that behavior? It Is to make a mockery of them. In the Helsinki accords the East agreed to respect human rights and to allow emigration and family reunification. They have not done so. In the Helsinki accords. the East agreed to build confidence between the Warsaw Pact and NATO.
Identified stereotypes
East bloc countries make a mockery of Helsinki accords.
