Speaker. the plight of the Soviet Jews has always been of great concern to me inasmuch as these people have suffered a great deal merely because they follow their religious convictions. With President Nixons forthcoming visit to the summit meeting in Moscow. I think It is imperative that we again reaffirm our commitment to supporting the Soviet Jews right to freedom from persecution and the assurance that should they chose to emigrate to other lands that they will not be denied this right. The Brooklyn Jewish Community Council. the organization which is at the helm of all synagogues. institutions. and organizations within the Brooklyn Jewish community and which represents more than 1 million citizens. recently assembled at its annual meeting and issued a resolution dealing with the Soviet Jewry. In light of the significance of this resolution.
