Such action. if it is not now so considered. should be in the same category as that of ransom and hijacking of airplanes. which should be rated an international crime. The Soviets actions however are more heinous in that it involves human beingshuman lives. Mr. Speaker. early in August there were reports that the President had discussed the matter of emigration by Soviet Jews during his Moscow visit and an agreement had been reached with the Soviet Government. I would doubt that the President would have envisioned or agreed to anything that smacked of ransom or extortion. I believe that it would be well.
