Certainly between now and June when President Bush has to make the decision about any additional credits. I do not think it is too much to ask that they sit down and negotiate with the Baltic leaders. which they have said they would do and gave us assurances they would do. and then they marched the troops into Lithuania. And what about an emigration policy in the absence of emigration laws? I do not think that is too much to ask. because we have been promised for a year and a half now by the Gorbachev regime that emigration laws would be passed bringing them into compliance with the Helsinki Act. You are entitled to a passport and visa. without discrimination. to leave the country and travel. And you can travel throughout your own nation and republic. without permission from the government. What about the refuseniks? At least. we ought to consider this so that the Gorbachev regime and Moscow permit the refuseniks. and some of them have been there 5 years since perestroika and glasnost started. to leave. They have been waiting to have permission to emigrate. and they are still being refused. I will be glad to supply people the history and names of these refuseniks because it is Just like it was under Brezhnev and other leaders. Is it really too much to ask that we do more than express concern today if we vote for this resolution?
