Our Government must bring all possible pressure to bear on the Soviet Government for an immediate cessation of its unjust and immoral strictures against Soviet Jews. We cannot be a party to a trade of lives for profits. Mr. Speaker. on August 14. the free world was shocked and dismayed to learn of the Soviet Unions enactment of legislation requiring huge and unrealistic sums of money to be paid in order for Jews to receive permission to emigrate to freedom. Yesterday our colleague. Mr. RIBICOFF. urged us to condemn this "extortionist Soviet visa fees." Mr. Speaker. this coming Sunday morning at 11 a.m. there will be a large demonstration protesting this Soviet blackmail held on the Ellipse. U.S.
