Mr. Speaker. 68 Senators recently wrote to Secretary of State Baker. arguing the PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat should be. once again. denied a visa to come to the United States to address the U.N. General Assembly. I could not disagree more strongly with the position taken in that letter. What the Senators seem not to recognize is that a second visa denial would create yet another obstacle to this country playing a constructive role in finding a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict. There can be no Middle East peace without the participation of the Palestinian people. That undeniably means that the PLO can no longer be excluded.
