For the past several years. Soviet Jews have become undeserving pawns in an international battle of wills. As relations have chilled. the souls of innocent men. women and children are frozen. The ability of this body to help change this tragic reality is beyond question. and it is our responsibility to exact this change. The figures do not lie. Since 1979. Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union has declined steadily. Applications to leave the country are ensnared in redtape by design. Those who protest are jailed. or stripped of their livelihoods and forced to suffer through an endless waiting game to breathe free.
