Mr. Speaker. last night. in response to a question from American television about the many Soviet subjects who have not been allowed to emigrate. General Secretary Gorbachev said that the United States is using the human rights issue for its own purpose: " * * what theyre organizing is a brain drain. And of course were protecting ourselves." Mr. Speaker. that is a dismal signal to all those who have hoped for increased emigration. But it is something else as well. It is a most forthright restatement of the MarxistLeninist understanding that people are the property of the state. Indeed. we are unlikely to hear a better clarification of that point from a more important spokesman.
