In the case of Iraq. it is reported that nine or 10 members of the most prominent Jewish family have been murdered. The legislation I am introducing calls for President Nixon to use appropriate diplomatic channels to seek an end to this harassment and persecution. The legislation also directs the Attorney General to offer. in effect. free emigration visas to Iraqi and Syrian Jews who are fleeing persecution. I am hopeful that this legislation will place the Syrian and Iraqi governments on notice that these crimes must stop and will direct the Nixon administration to a more constructive course of action in this area.
