As a legislative body representing a free people. this act is our responsibility on behalf of our brethren who yearn to have the blessings of a free land. Indeed. it is imperative that the President know of our strongly held desire that. when he goes to Moscow in May. he call upon the Soviet Government to permit free expression of ideas and the exercise of religion by all citizens in accordance with the Soviet Constitution. It is our hope that he will take the opportunity to try and secure an end to discrimination against religious minorities. and allow them to emigrate at will. We are also expressing our determination that the issue of the Soviet Unions transgression of the Declaration of Human Rightsparticularly against Soviet Jews and other minorities--be raised in the General Assembly of the United Nations. Mans inhumanity to man must be everybodys business--wherever it occurs.
