Essentially it was a victory for equal justice for American citizens. but it was much more. It showed the Russian Government and the world that the United States was determined to make clear that religious persecution and discrimination was abhorrent to Americans of all faiths. That great principle still prevails in this Nation. The Congress has gone on record to protest discrimination of Soviet Jews and the breach by the Soviet Government of its written international commitments guaranteeing freedom of emigration. Why should not trade agreements between the Soviet Union and the United States seek to achieve this Nations ideals and principles? I believe they should.
