...incorporation of Eastern Europe into a Soviet sphere of influence." But Shultz's pronouncement did not signal a new moral crusade. As official U.S. policy, the notion of "liberation" has long since been discredited and abandoned. Administration officials now speak more blandly of "differentiation" between East bloc countries.

House Republicans were openly at odds with the package. In a party meeting last week, they voted overwhelmingly to oppose the bill, calling it "anti-family, anti-growth and anti-investment...
