It would indeed be a very deep tragedy if in this set of circumstances. when the Soviet Union has finally opened its doors. the United States. the beacon of hope. the beacon of democracy. the example of the world in terms of hope. and in terms of potential. closes its doors in this set of circumstances. For months. Madam Chairman. the administration has been aware of the Soviet refugee problem and has pledged to do all it can to rectify that regrettable situation. They have an opportunity to do so today. and yet they choose not to do so. It is an outrage.
