Boris Kockubiyevski. after his imprisonment in the U.S.S.R.. was permitted to leave the Soviet Union. He was in Washington yesterday to tell Members of Congress of his prison experiences and of the persecution that his fellow Jews suffer in that country. Boris Kochubiyevski was among the first. if not the first. to publically state his desire and that of hundreds of thousands of Jews in the U.S.S.R. to leave that country and emigrate to Israel. At this point I should like to place in the RECORD the short yet magnificent statement of conscience Boris Kochubiyevski issued in 1968: I am a Jew. I want to live in the Jewish state.
