Madam Chairman. what we are talking about is an interesting subject. What we have is an administration that over the last number of years has made the exit of persecuted minorities in the Soviet Unlin a high priority foreign policy goal. so for years we have been besting on the Soviet Union diplomatically tu let out Jews. persecuted minorities like Pentecostals and other ethnic minorities. We have agreed over the years to take them in as a persecuted refugee. But what happened? In October OMB. who all of a sudden has become the worlds great and total. for this administration and the last one. voice on what is supposed to go on everywhere in the world. decided we were running out of money. So they contacted the INS and the Department of State and said: You will change your rules. These people that we have been beating on the Soviets to allow to exit and immigrate will now be treated as parolees. So when the INS and the State Department put this into operation through OMBs decision. not our decision. what happened? We did the very thing that we have been accusing the Soviet of doing for years.
