Mr. President. to us. the right to emigrate is fundamental to the basic human freedoms which this Republic was designed to insure. No human right. yet alone the right to emigrate. is fundamental to Soviet leaders. For me there is no personal risk. such as there is viith Mr. Sakharov. to decry the absence of freedom within the Soviet Union. But there is an obligation to speak out on behalf of Jews and other nationality groups now living within the Soviet Union under extremely adverse circumstances. I have joined other Senators in submitting a resolution which calls attention to this matter. particularly with respect to the plight of Soviet Jewry.
