Speaker. the continuing Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the ongoing atrocities being committed by the Soviets in that country cry out for redress. And this resolution renews the commitment of Congress to provide "appropriate material support" to the people of Afghanistan. It is clear to all of us by now that socalled glasnost does not extend to the suffering people of Afghanistaninnocent people whose land is being scorched by the Soviets. What greater opportunity for Gorbachev to show he means business about reform can there be than in Afghanistan? One million Afghanis have died in less the 8 years. Millions more are refugees in Pakistan and Iran. Still more are displaced within their own country. These are people who never offended Gorbachev.
