Under this legislation. the U.S. government collects information on religious persecution. through the compilation of an Annual Report on Religious Persecution. and responds to these violations through a broad range of options. ranging from diplomatic protest to economic sanctions. The apparatus under this legislation is not simply reactive. however. It also provides for active promotion of religious freedom through international broadcasts. Fulbright exchanges. and training for Foreign Service Officers and refugee and asylum personnel on these issues. While the apparatus may seem extensive. it only reflects the magntitude of the problem. I believe that is the least that we can do to lay a concrete foundation for religious freedom.
