Mr. President. from what we know of President Saddam Hussein. that there is a great deal that he needs to understand about our views of the international oil market. that we are very much opposed to cartels and price fixing and restraints of trade. that we are very much opposed to policies of intimidating countries like Kuwait or the United Arab Emirates or any country in terms of what they ought to do on commercial transactions which might have a corollary economic benefit to Iraq. When Senator SHELBY and I met with President Saddam Hussein we advised him about a number of things that he had no familiarity with. such as U.S. immigration policy. He asked why the United States had a policy of excluding Soviet Jews to compel them to go to Israel. We responded that the United States had immigration limitations as to everyone and that in fact the quota of 50.000 for Soviet Jews was a high quota. and that it took a floor fight in the U.S. Senate to get 30.000 people admitted to this country who were Ph.Ds. technicians. and highly skilled individuals. We talked to President Saddam Hussein about a great many matters.
