For instance. congressional pressure on the administration led to the announcement by Attorney General Mitchell on September 30 of last year. that he would exercise his parole authority to enable Soviet Jews to enter our country. If Soviet Jews are to win their struggle for survival. their cause must be kept centerstage. It is widely believed that worldwide concern and pressure on Soviet officials is responsible for the increase in the number of Jews being permitted to emigrate. This shows the necessity of increasing and intensifying the pressure of world opinion. I believe that the resolution under consideration today will serve to focus world attention on the problem of Soviet Jewry and will intensify the pressure on the Soviet government to grant basic rights to the oppressed people of the Soviet Union.
