And that man who is in charge of that office will then recommend. in his own infinite wisdom. to the Secretary of State whether persecution is taking place throughout the world. There are various categories involved here. I will not go into the specifics. but the important thing is that if a country has been decided to be involved in religious persecution in any way. whether this is tribal or whether this is two religions. whether the country has no control over it whatsoever. that country will then have a denial of United States foreign assistance. it will be subject to various trade sanctions. denial of visas. prohibition of exports. U.S. support for multilateral bank assistance. and a whole variety of different things. I think that is the wrong way of going about it.
