“When the American people see their Congressmen over the Fourth of July holiday, it would be actually a good moment to remind the Member of Congress that we should be standing up for what our forefathers believed in, these principles of freedom and individual rights, that this country was going to be better than just some conglomeration of people seeking profit and seeking monetary reward, that we do indeed stand for freedom. Before the gentleman leaves, I would like to mention one last story on this particular issue. I agree with him wholeheartedly when he says that no one could ever have gotten away during the cold war with suggesting we will make Russia better, this dictatorship in Russia better, by granting most-favored-nation status and transferring all of our technology to Russia. No one would have ever dreamed of that. Instead, we were strong and we were tough and when Ronald Reagan came in, his tough stand helped end the cold war and bring a greater potential for freedom and peace in the world than anyone had ever dreamed. Well, during that time period, there was a hero of freedom named Natan Scharansky.”
