As President Kennedy once said: The rights of all men are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. Last summer. the Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 33. which I cosponsored. expressing our will that determined steps be taken by our Government to call upon the Soviet Government to permit the free expression of religion by all its citizens. in accordance with the Soviet Constitution itself. The citizens of my State of Florida. recognizing the right to emigrate. as affirmed by the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. have expressed their anxieties and concern for the treatment of their fellow human beings in the U.S.S.R. by passing. at the current session of the Florida Legislature. a resolution of both Houses which appeals to the conscience of the Russian people. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be printed in the RECORD.
