and myself. no one has been fooled by the new emigration policy announced by the Soviet Union. Rather than liberalizing the process. it merely codifies all the severe restrictions used in the past by the Soviet Government to prevent those who wish to from emigrating. and adds rules that will make it even more difficult for some to leave. Mr. President. there are few issues that have the universal. bipartisan support of the Senate. But when it comes to human rights. the Senate stands as a body. We stand as representatives of each and every American. speaking with one voice to decry the abuse of human dignity and freedom. wherever. whenever it happens.
