Mr. Speaker. I want to bring to the attention of my colleagues an excellent article that was recently written by Mr. Anthony Lewis of the New York Times relating to the problems of the Soviet Union and its handling of Jewish citizens and dissidents who wish to emigrate from that country. Recently. we have been told by the administration that any effort on the part of this Congress to use its leverage through the trade reform bill to liberalize Russias restrictions placed on its minority groups will jeopardize "detente" with that country. Mr. Lewis perceptively outlines the weaknesses of this argument and argues persuasively for Congress to continue its efforts to support civil liberties and human dignity.
