Mr. Speaker. recently I joined with many concerned Members of this House and the other body to deny most favored nation status to the Soviet Union so long as that nation continued its policy of discrimination against Jews wishing to emigrate to Israel. According to some that campaign has been successful. Certainly there are appearances to that effect. On the other hand. Mr. Speaker. it appears that the great Russian imperialists are still tightening the thumbscrews on Ukrainian nationalists who wish a lessening of the controls from Moscow. I am alarmed about the 12 years sentence given to Vyacheslav Chornovil. a Ukrainian television personality who was charged with "antiSoviet agitation and propaganda." To me this indicates that the historic great Russian campaign of terror as a means of combating Ukrainian national feelings has been resumed.
