And as this new year begins for those of the Jewish faith. our thoughts turn again to a troubled world. and to the plight of so many who have faced such persecution for their religious beliefs. We think of the tiny State of Israel. threatened on all sides by belligerent nations. and we can only hope that somehow reason will prevail in the year to come. and peace will finally arrive for the peoples of the Middle East. We think also of the citizens of the Soviet Union who have waited so long and so patiently for the simple right to worship God as they choose. and to emigrate as they please. We here in the Congress of the United States can only pray with them that a better day may soon come for the Soviet Jews as we hope it will for the people of the Middle East. But at least in the case of Israel. this Nation may intervene on behalf of justice through diplomatic negotiations. direct support and in whatever is needed to keep that small nation alive and free.
