Mr. President. the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have long been justifiably concerned over the conditions imposed upon Jews in the Soviet Union. The incidents of harassment. the denial of basic rights. the refusal to permit religious practice. and most illogical of all. the refusal to permit emigration of Jewish citizens. have imposed an intolerable burden upon Soviet Jews. The recent Leningrad trials have brought to the fore the worldwide distress over the plight of these captive peoples. The matters of deepest concern have been clearly enunciated in a resolution adopted by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
