In most years. the Soviet Union is the worlds largest export market for wheat. Often sales to the Soviet Union are the difference between a good year and a bad year for wheat farmers. Yet. the administration refuses to extend export loan guarantees to the Soviet Union unless and until the Soviet Union changes its emigration laws. They make this demand even though the Soviet Union has allowed a virtual human tidal wave of emigration over the last 2 years. The time to extend GSM loan guarantees is now. not next year after we lose millions of dollars in export sales. I urge the administration to use the authority granted by this amendment and immediately agricultural export credits to the Soviet Union.
