Speaker. I wish to join with many of my colleagues in the House to protest the restrictive policies against Jews in the Soviet Union who wish to go to Israel. In addition to the usual fee of $1.000 for emigration permits. the Soviet Union is demanding from $5.000 to $37.000 for each Jewish person with a higher education who desires to emigrate to Israel. On September 19. the Supreme Soviet is scheduled to meet to ratify this schedule of fees. Supposedly. the high fees have been instituted to prevent a "brain drain". but in reality they serve as still another form of prosecution against Russian Jews.
