I understand that the Medvid case is not the only incident recently involving those seeking asylum from Communist countries in which inconsistencies in asylum procedures have been noted. I am not one of those who believe that the Congress can or ought to micromanage U.S. foreign policy. But here is a clear instance that demands our investigation and. if necessary. specific recommendation for changes in procedure or law.
