Mr. Speaker. Yugoslavia just made a mockery of justice in that country. Yesterday a Yugoslav judge sentenced a Michigan resident to 7 years in prison. Congressional appeals were ignored. Today Congressman FASCELL. Congressman YATRON. Congressman SOLOMON. and Congressman HERTEL and myself are introducing legislation which would suspend the mostfavorednation status of Yugoslavia. After illegally detaining Mr. Pjeter Ivezaj. a naturalized American citizen. Yugoslav authorities put him in jail. While denying U.S. Embassy officers access to him. that young man was sentenced to a long prison term. If that country continues to violate the rights of Mr. Ivezaj. and two other American citizens. why should that Government enjoy a special trade relationship with America?
