Speech #990116819

Mr. President. I also urge adoption of this amendment offered by the distinguished Senator from Georgia and myself. Mr. President. this amendment deals with the unfortunate incident that occurred not too many days ago regarding Mr. Medvid. the Russian seaman who attempted to defect. or find asylum. in the United States. There is some concern about the way in which this case was handled by the Immigration Service. Frankly. as one Senator. I have no doubt as to what a young man is doing who jumps into the Mississippi River twice and swims to shore. Clearly. he is in fear and. clearly. he is trying to seek some secure resting place.
