A copout on the part of the gentleman from California. I will finish the letter. The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law Emeritus says. "The proposed tax has serious human rights implications and is inconsistent with the longstanding U.S. policies with respect to the right of free emigration expressed in the JacksonVanick Amendment to the Trade Act of 1974 and elsewhere. Indeed. this policy was the centerpiece of our effective opposition to the Soviet Union during the 1970s and the 1980s. If the United States now adopts this restrictive approach. it will give oppressive foreign governments an excuse to retain or erect barriers to expatriation and immigration." If Members want to assist oppressive foreign governments. in the opinion of the Dr. Felix Frankfurter. professor of law emeritus. shame on you. A cheap political stunt. repeated twice now. in the face of the conference committee responsibly investigating ways to change this law.
