This law is a milestone in securing the full freedom of movement of Soviet citizens. However. Mr. Speaker. based on the latest draft of the law that I have seen. several sections fall short of internationally recognized standards. Including those relating to state secrets. personal financial obligations. and military service. I am particularly concerned that extensions of secrecy over the stated 5year period could be a prescription for indiscriminate and arbitrary visa denials in the future. However. we are encouraged by the establishment of an appeals process for those individuals denied permission. We would hope that these judicial processes are fair and impartial and not made by secret committees behind closed doors.
