It is unfortunate that the rest of the world does not have our concept of the Bill of Rights. and yet it is not our place to go around the world whether it be in Nicaragua or Romania. saying you have to have our freedom of speech. our freedom of press. our freedom of religion. our right to assemble. our right to petition the government. our concept of trial by jury. I think what the Senator from Colorado. Senator ARMSTRONG. is logically trying to do is change the premise of JacksonVanik from emigration to emigration and religious tolerance. If you grant that premise. then his amendment is valid because Romania is abominable from the standpoint of religious tolerance. If you think its purpose ought to be limited to those countries who reasonably will allow those citizens within the country to leave who do not like the country. then I think his amendment should be defeated because on that measure. and on that measure alone.
