Certainly. all of us can lend that spiritual support to those Jews who remain oppressed today and continue in a determined effort to obtain their rights in all Nations. but the situation in the Soviet Union is worthy of special attention. Mr. Speaker. the plight of more than 3 million Soviet Jews. who are being deprived of their rights to religious and cultural freedom in violation of the Soviet Unions own constitution. and who are being denied the right to emigrate freely. despite provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. to which the Soviet Union subscribes. has stirred public opinion and led to protests throughout the world. Their plight merits our compassion. In the name of humanitarianism. we must persist in our efforts to persuade the Soviet government to relent in its oppressive policies.
