Its pernicious effects are harmful not only to Jews but also to the nonJews whose minds it corrupts and whose humanity it undermines. Mr. Speaker. Romania is facing a tremendous series of challenges as it struggles to make the transition to a market economy and a democratic society. but religious or ethnic intolerance could hinder progress by dividing society at a time when cooperation and mutual respect are essential. It is ironic that Romania for the most part under Ceausescu banished or at least allowed to emigrate most of its Jewish population. There remains in Romania a small residue of the once large Jewish population. Religious or ethnic intolerance. as I said. could hinder the progress that Romania is attempting to make.
