Mr. Speaker. the plight of Jewish people in the Soviet Union is well known. They systematically undergo political harassment. job discrimination. and religious persecution. Additionally. they are prohibited from emigrating to their spiritual homeland. Israel. except under the most difficult of circumstances. One of the most powerful weapons that we. who are concerned over the treatment of Soviet Jews. have is the spotlight of publicity. On several occasions. such as the wellknown alleged skyjacking incidents last year. public opinion served to insure that Jews received fair treatment at the hands of the Soviet authorities. Judd L. Teller has written an excellent article in the December 1971 issue of the Jewish Veteran.
