For all of Secretary Brezhnevs goodhumored posturing. we must not forget that he is the head of a government that Imprisons dissenters In insane asylums and harrasses those who wish to express their Jewish identity. I hope that my colleagues will not be so completely won over by Secretary Brezhnevs good humor that they will forget that a genuine dutente requires both sides to make many accommodations. Mr. Speaker. I have attached a list of Jewish citizens of the Soviet Union who have applied for exist visas and have been denied for "national security reasons." This list illustrates better than any words I could choose just what it means to be a Jew in Russia today. I hope that my colleagues will study this list carefully. and learn the painful lesson it teaches:
