President. as a cosponsor of the bill for the relief of Soviet Jews. I wish to reiterate my deep concern for the Jews now living in the Soviet Union. We now have well documented evidence showing that there is a large waiting list of Soviet Jews who are applying for emigration visas to the United States. These lists. plus reports of the Leningrad trials. and a variety of investigations. indicate that the Jewish population in the Soviet Union is being persecuted. The most convenient response to this news is to shirk our shoulders and go on with more important business.
