An amendment to add the following new section: Sec 914. The Congress deplores the continuing and unjustified war against the people of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, using morally indefensible actions has caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, the indiscriminate destruction of entire villages, and the destruction of irreplaceable food resources such as crops, livestock and food stores needed to maintain even the barest minimum of subsistence. The Congress therefore strongly expresses its condemnation of the Soviet war against Afghanistan and states that it should be United States policy to secure the removal from Afghanistan of Soviet troops and return Afghan sovereignty to the Afghan people.
