Mr. Speaker. last week I introduced a resolution condemning the Government and leaders of the Soviet Union for creating a class of slaves in the 20th century by forcing thousands of people to live and work in a country which they want to leave. because they do not have the money to ransom themselves into freedom. This policy of putting a price onthe head of every person with an advanced education. who wants to emigrate from the Soviet Union is aimed solely at the thousands of Russian Jews. who are trying to go to Israel. This decision to ransom Russian Jews is a barbarism which can only be compared to Hitlers offers to trade Jews for trucks. Now we learn that these same Russian leaders are asking for economic concessions to make trade with the United States easier and more profitable.
