Mr. Speaker. I was recently visited by students from Loyola University who expressed their concern over the failure of this administration to take a more active role in lending its assistance to speed the emigration of Soviet Jews who want to emigrate to Feb ruary 9. 19 72 other countries. I want to commend the students who were led by Dan Tracy. of the Student Government Association of Loyola University. for their active participation. It is the good work of such private citizens in building pressure upon the Soviet Union to permit such emigration. Which has helped speed up the rate of emigration of Soviet Jews to Israel and to other countries. Soviet authorities are quite paranoid in their efforts to cover up the plight of Soviet Jewry. Americans visiting the Soviet Union have been harassed and even jailed when they have raised the question.
