There are a lot of people in this Chamber who worked on families that have been split up by the United States after they were let out of the Soviet Union. but OMBs plan had gone into effect. We are here to correct a terrible wrong that we have done to people and a foreign policy goal to set it straight that we believe is the right goal and that we have consistently supported in this Chamber. The people that we are talking about here are refugees. They are in fear of persecution. The Jews and other ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union have not had their situation changed. Oh. yes. haphazardly. without plan or pattern. more exit visas have been granted by the Soviet Government. but nothing has changed. No constitutional change has been made. no legal change has been made. nothing. We must do this to correct a wrong in order to institute a policy that we have agreed on for years.
