Mr. Speaker. I am today introducing a resolution in the House of Representatives condemning the persecution of Jews in Russia and calling upon the President to make it a matter of top priority to negotiate permission for Russian Jews to emigrate to Israel. I am gratified to have 39 of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle show the depth of their concern by cosponsoring the resolution with me. The treatment of Jews in Russia amounts to nothing less than spiritual and cultural genocide. There are no Jewish schools in Russia. no books on Jewish history and heritage. very little Hebraic literature. and virtually no theatrical performances.
