When a fellow jumps ship twice in a row. he is trying to tell us something. Mr. President. how in the world we could have given him back to the Soviets is beyond my understanding. I believe we need some answers. The creation of this Senate panel will. I hope. offer us a look at what went wrong when that sailor ended up on his way back to the Soviet Union. The Panel will also give us an opportunity to take a long. hard look at the overall procedures for dealing with political asylum requests. Perhaps existing regulations are being misinterpreted. Perhaps we need to look at some legislative remedies.
