He has indicated that he might discuss the plight of Soviet Jewry with the Kremlin leadership. This is an opportunity that should not be ignored. The distinguished members of the Senate of my State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations have enacted a resolution requesting the President: To call upon the Soviet Government to permit the free exercise of religion by all its citizens in accordance with the Soviet Constitution. to end discrimination against religious minorities. and to permit its citizens to emigrate from the Soviet Union to the countries of their choice as affirmed by the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. I strongly endorse this resolution and urge my colleagues in the House to do the same. The struggle for religious and personal freedom by the Soviet Jews is in the best tradition of our own fight for freedom nearly 200 years ago.
