Speaker. I wanted to bring to the attention of my colleagues a statement written by Lev Sheinkar. one*of the Russian Jews who maintained a. vigil outside the Moscow building where the Russian Federation Supreme Court was "deciding the case of a group commonly referred to as the "Leningrad 11" in December 1970. I know that many Members of Congress support the effort to create free emigration rights for those of the Jewish faith who desire to leave the U.S.S.R. and emigrate to Israel. The condition of the Jewish people in Russia at the present time is a matter of grave concern. and because of the strong feeling for human rights expressed by Mr. Sheinkar I feel that his views should be shared with other Members of Congress.
