I urge passage of Concurrent Resolution 471 to seek relief from restrictions on Soviet Jews. This resolution would bring to the attention of the United Nations that Russia does not abide by the U.N.s Declaration of Human Rights. It would point out. for all the world to see. that Russia. which affirmed the declaration. denies the right to its citizens to emigrate from the Soviet Union to countries of their choice. This resolution would urge our President to represent America in appealing to the United Nations and the Soviet Government. With this resolution of Congress concern. the President would explain that the Soviet Constitution guarantees to its citizens free expression of ideas and the exercise of religionbut that the Soviet Government has denied those freedons to Jews.
