Speech #1050179504

To date. between 15.000 and 30.000 ethnic Hungarians have sought refuge in Hungary. The 2 million Hungarians still inside Romania continue to be victims of a regime which is becoming more repressive. as its efforts to destroy their ethnic heritage meets with greater criticism from both Eastern and Western governments. A resolution has recently been introduced in this body condemning the violation of human rights in Romania and recently a letter was sent to Secretary Shultz asking him to consider the economic pressures placed on Hungary by the influx of refugees seeking asylum from the oppression of the Ceausescu government. I am pleased to be a part of both of these initiatives. Again.
