Mr. Speaker. today. on the second anniversary of the mass arrests of the brave Soviet Jews who stood trial in Leningrad. it is appropriate that we assess the current status of the cause of freedom from Soviet oppression. which these people risked their lives for. The forced separations of families and friends. the loss of jobs of those seeking to emigrate. the confinements in prisons and communication blackouts imposed by the Soviet Government often have been recounted in this Chamber. But. until Soviet leaders honor their governments signing of international agreements to allow the Jews to practice their religion and to emigrate to their homeland in Israel. we in Congress and millions of Americans and others concerned with this humanitarian cause cannot abate our efforts in behalf of this oppressed people. One of the concerned Americans who has contributed substantially to these efforts is Mr. Peter C.
