Because of the holiday recess. Congress was not in session when it was reported that death sentences had been imposed upon two Soviet Jews. When the House reconvened on Tuesday. I urged that the House of Representatives make its voice heard in protest. and I introduced House Resolution 1320 condemning religious persecution in the Soviet Union and urging that the Soviet Union allow those citizens who wish to emigrate to do so. The response of the House leadership and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee was immediate and sympathetic. The result is that House Resolution 1336 is now before us.
