The week before. they saw no difficulty in having Afghan troops surround our Embassy in Kabul and in cutting its electricity when a Soviet soldier sought to defect. In any event. Mr. President. 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.
