I would urge its adoption at any time. But what better time to pass it than now. as the President prepares for his historic trip. How better to arm our President as he enters into discussion with the Soviet leaders. than to present him with this clear declaration of the conscience of the American people that the rights to religious freedom guaranteed under the Soviet Constitution. and the right to emigrate subscribed to by the Soviet Union in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights should and must be adhered to. Mr. Speaker. the pressure of world opinion has raised the trickle of emigrants from the Soviet Union to a stream. With passage of this concurrent resolution. we here today can perhaps help turn that. stream into a flood.
