In many ways this is worse than Incidents of physical brutality. because it demonstrates as clearly as nothing else could. the callous indifference of the Soviet government to the legitimate demands of its Jewish citizens. They are. in effect punished for being Jews. They are not given permission to emigrate. and at the same time. they are prevented from doing the work they have been trained to do in the Soviet Union. They are worse than nonpersons. for the government does take recognition of them in order to continue harassing and oppressing them. This should demonstrate clearly to our colleagues in the Senate the importance of acting quickly on Senator JACKSONS freedom of emigration amendment. This action by the Soviet Union Is not just an action aimed against a few dissident Jews. No. it is an action aimed against the civilized world.
