Mr. Speaker. I wish to express once again my concern and outrage over the "exit fees" which have been imposed on Jews wishing to emigrate to Israel: These exit fees which are assessed on a sliding scale ranging from $5.000 to $37.000 per person are nothing less than ransom fees which are in direct contradiction with established international law. The right of any person to emigrate to the nation of his choice is fundamental and is secured by the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. Yet. the U.S.S.R. ignores that doctrine even though it is a signatory of the U.N. agreement.
