They continue to circulate books in Hebraic clandestinely and print manifestoes through an underground press. It should be clear by now to the authorities that Russian Jews will not surrender their identity and be assimilated into the population as is apparently hoped. I therefore am introducing this legislation. with. broad bipartisan support. calling upon President Nixon to use the diplomatic tools available to him. including the SALT talks and Mideast conferences. to negotiate with Russia the right of its Jewish citizens to emigrate to Israel or any other country willing to receive them. The resolution condemns religious persecution along with its plea for basic human rights. I will press for wider sponsorship and action on this legislation at the earliest possible date.
