Mr. President. today I am introducing legislation to require Vietnam to provide freedom of emigration for the Vietnamese people before tax dollars from our constituents across America are used to further expand our governments trade relations with this communist regime. As provided for in the Trade Act of 1974. my resolution prohibits implementation of the Presidents decision yesterday to waive the freedom of emigration requirements with Vietnam. I am pleased that Senator HELMS. the distinguished Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. has joined me as a sponsor of this joint resolution. and I commend my colleague. Congressman ROHRABACHER. for introducing a companion measure in the House.
