I thank the gentleman for yielding. I want to commend the gentleman for the gentlemans amendment. I think it is appropriate for this House to adopt it. and very simply. briefly I want to remind the Members that we did not participate in the 1980 Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. an invasion that to date has killed 1 million Afghans. mostly civilians. mostly women and children. It sent 4 million. Afghans. to the refugee camps around the world. but primarily in the Pakistan area. In 1984 the Soviets responded to that refusal of ours in 1980 by not participating.
