Mr. Speaker. I wish to add m voice in condemnation of the Soviet Union for its establishment of a schedule of exorbitant visa fees for educated Jews who wish to emigrate. This policy can only be called a reprehensible form of extortion. For those Soviet Jews who have been engaged in a constant and continual struggle to emigrate to Israel. sustained for such long periods only by the hope that the visas would be granted. this new policy means the end of hope. The ransoming of human beings is one policy all decent men must absolutely refuse to accept. Indeed. the response of the Jewish leadership in the Soviet Union has been that under no circumstances is the ransom to be paid.
