If we acquiesce on this trade pactwithout a protest regarding the Soviet Jews. what is to prevent the Soviet officials from raising the blackmail ante? Mr. Speaker. the Congress should serve notice on the Soviet Union that we are not so anxious to trade if it is at the expense of comprising our belief in the rights of Soviet Jews and their brethren to emigrate if they so wish. If we start abridging our belief in civil liberties. it will not be long before the rights of mankind everywhere become abridged. The eternal hope for freedom. liberty and human dignity for the oppressed and persecuted will consequently die.
