Therefore. when the 92d Congress convened in January of this year. I introduced House Concurrent Resolution 8. to express the sense of Congress against the persecution of persons by Soviet Russia because of their religion. and also. House Concurrent Resolution 245. requesting our President to take immediate and determined steps to persuadethe Soviet Union to permit persons of the Jewish faith. who express the desire. to emigrate to a country of their choice. By the passage of these resolutions. we can reaffirm to the world community and especially to the Soviets our belief that mankind has the inalienable right to religious freedom. During the celebration of the Jewish high holidays. we recall once again the suffering endured by the Jewish people and mankinds conscience cries out against the betrayal of human rights which they have so tragically experienced.
