Yesterday I had the chief rabbi of Romania in my office who told me that they had given permission to the government to bulldoze that synagogue which was referred to on this floor. And the Bnai Brith organization. of course. opposes this amendment. so does the Christian Rescue Effort for Emancipation of Dissidents. (CREED) oppose this particular amendment. We had some reference to emigration from other countries. The Ways and Means Committee has been working hard to help potential Romanian emigrants out who want to get out. Since MFN. 154.000 Romanians have emigrated. That is more than the combined total of immigrants from Russia. Bulgaria. Czechoslovakia. and HungaryHungary lately has MFNwhich have 13 times the population of Romania.
