But what this amendment does do clearly is to give this House the opportunity to voice its sentiment. to tell the Soviet Union we abhor its inhuman policy of holding its Jewish citizens for ransom. Do we not want to go on record now as saying we object to this kind of blackmail. we protest this kind of ransom? This is the critical moment. Let the word go out from the Congress that we believe in the right of free emigration as stated in the Declaration of Human Rights. Let us go on record in opposition to the proposed Soviet action. which violates the Declaration of Human Rights which was signed by the Soviet Union.
