It instructs the President and the State Department to use all available channels of communication. formal and informal. to demand the redress of grievances against the Russian Jewry. Despite the fact that the Soviet constitution guarantees the free expression of cultural and religious freedoms. we know all too well that these liberties have been denied. Further. the right of free emigration. granted by the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. has been all but ignored by Russia. This is especially disheartening to those thousands of Jews who wish to emigrate to their adopted home of Israel. Passage of this resolution will focus the spotlight of truth upon injustices which until recent years have been hidden from the free world. While we can only rely on the weight of world public opinion. we do know that the Soviet Union has responded to this form of pressure in the past.
