6. Job discrimination must be terminated.

7. All harassments and intimidations must be terminated in relation to nationality and religion. This must include census, postal service, transportation and welfare as well as the treatment of visitors from foreign countries, and the treatment of those persons who receive these visitors.

8. Proof must be furnished that all these demands are satisfied by allowing a mixed committee, with at least three of the major Hungarian American organizations represented in it, to move freely in Transylvania in order to examine the situation thoroughly.

The minority rights and liberties represented by these demands are already included and guaranteed by the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Rumania, but never applied or implicated.

THEREFORE: in case Rumania should refuse to comply with these legitimate demands, no aid of any kind should be granted to that government at the expense of the American taxpayer.

FURTHERMORE, the government of the United States, through our representative to the United Nations, should demand a revision of the 1946 peace treaty with Rumania on the basis of non-compliance with the stipulations concerning the treatment of the minorities.

THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION SHOULD BE GRANTED TO THE PEOPLE OF TRANSYLVANIA.
