Mr. President. I wish to add my voice in condemnation of the Soviet Union for its deplorable action of instituting a system of escalated exit fees for those Russians who wish to emigrate. The Soviet Unions harassment of its Jewish citizens has reached a newalbeit more subtlelevel of intensity. After world opinion forced the Soviet Government to modify its policy of absolute restriction of Jewish emigration. the Soviet Government created restrictions of a more Informaland less perceptiblenature. Jews desirous of emigrating were ostracized and persecuted at the city and neighborhood level where the eyes of the world public could not see. But Russia underestimated the will of its Jewish citizens to escape the perfidy of officially sanctioned persecution. But now world attention is again focused on the Soviet systema system that can only be described as 20th century slavery.
