The amendment would pro hibit the use of American funds. appropriated to the Department of State. the USIA or AID. to pay for the travel of Communist officials involved in repressing worship or religious persecution. So where there is credible evidence that these officials are engaged in these horrendous practices. they would be denied visa approval. they would be denied travel expenses. per diem by the American Government. by the American taxpayer. It would deny visas to officials engaged in religious persecution and forced abortion. The amendment would force the Department of State to raise. in every bilateral and multilateral forum. the issues of individuals in prison. detained. confined. or otherwise harassed by the Chinese Government on religious grounds. It simply means that we are going to require our diplomats. when engaging in bilateral and multilateral discussions. to raise these important issues of religious persecution and forced abortions so that that discussion and our concernthe concern of the American peopleis reflected by our diplomatic corps.
