Mr. Speaker. I was very pleased to note the action of the House Committee on Ways and Means last week in refusing to grant mostfavorednation status to countries which violate the international human right of free emigration. Prior to the committees decision. I received a joint statement released by Jewish leaders urging continued support for the amendments sponsored by Senator JACKSON and Representatives MILLs and VANIK to protect basic human rights. That joint statement is most important because it emphasizes the fact that Government repression of a minority in any country threatens the freedom and chances for peace everywhere in the world.
