author of the bill and chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration. Refugees. and International Law. who has been instrumental in finding the form for this important amendment. The amendment includes appropriate provisions against a blanket qualification for all Ukrainians. I am grateful for his help and support. In the Senate version of the bill. Senator LAUTENBERG has included Ukrainian Orthodox and Catholics in the category of persecuted peoples of the Soviet Union. so the language will likely come in conference. In short. the amendment is an opportunity for the United States to maintain our consistent policy of recognizing and opposing religious suppression and human rights violations in the Soviet Union and throughout the world.
