Speaker. a tragedy is taking place in the Soviet Union involving not only the 25 Soviet Jews on trial. but tens of thousands of Jews in the Soviet Union. If we remain silent or send only pro forma letters so as not to violate the niceties of protocol. we must bear some of the responsibility for the developing tragedy. I urge our colleagues to write to the Secretary of State requesting that the United States take a stronger. public position on the matter of the trials and the policy of the Soviet Union prohibiting emigration of Soviet Jews to those countries to which they freely wish to go and which will accept them.
