Mr. President. today it is my privilege to cosponsor Senate Concurrent Resolution 41. introduced by my colleague Senator WILSON and also cosponsored by my colleague Senator CRANSTON. This bill expresses the sense of Congress that any future improvement of diplomatic relations with Ethiopia should be continued upon Ethiopias willingness to allow free emigration for its Jewish minority. There have been reports recently that Ethiopia seeks and welcomes improved relations with the United States. This resolution will put Ethiopia on notice that Congress will be watching to see that it upholds its commitment to free emigration. Ethiopia voluntarily accepted this commitment when it became a signatory to the U.N.s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Mengistu regime has never renounced Ethiopias adherence to the declaration.
