Mr. Speaker. the Congress will call upon the President to request that the Soviet Government honor the words of its own Constitution. by allowing all of its citizens to practice the free expression of religious beliefs and cultural ideas. In addition. the President would be requested to plead for the right of Soviet citizens to emigrate to the countries of their choice. I think that all of us have been greatly heartened in recent months by the Soviet Governments relaxation of its attitude toward the emigration of Jewish citizens to Israel. This development. in large measure. is due to the overwhelming effort to mobilize world opinion in behalf of Soviet Jews. This effort must not be relaxed.
