Syrian police are cracking down on relatives of Jews who have succeeded in leaving the country. subjecting them to reprisals. including arrest and torture. Even as I speak. these Syrian Jews are suffering in the purgatory that the perversions of justice. unabashedly committed by the Syrian Government. have given rise to. Mr. Speaker. to assure the dedication of the United States to fundamental human rights. to give these unrepresented people their only opportunity to live in freedom and dignity. I propose that the Vanik amendment to the trade bill be amended to extend the proscription of the mostfavorednation status to any and all nations which deny to their citizens the right to emigrate. Mr. Speaker.
