Mr. Speaker. since December of last year. when the Leningrad show trial focused world attention on the humiliation of Russian Jewry. there has been a noticeable improvement in the Soviet attitude toward its Jewish community. New York Times reports that an average of about 15 Jews per day are emigrating from the country. as compared to about two a day in January and six a day in February. This is an encouraging sign to all men who cherish human fredom and value human dignity. In large measure. this development owes to the constant pressure of world opinion on the Soviet Union. much of which was generated from within this very Chamber.
