Mr. Speaker. in spite of the grand statements from the Soviet Union about their intentions to cease harassment of Soviet Jews and to change their present emigration policies. their harassment has not stopped and there has been no easing in their restrictive emigration policies. During the past recess. I learned about several other cases of harassment of Soviet Jews who desire to emigrate. One concerns a poor Jewish Soviet young man. Aleksandr Silniltsky of Krasnodar. Ukrainian Republic. Mr. Silnitskys only crime was a simple request to leave the Soviet Union and for this. he has been harassed and tormented by the Soviet Secret Police.
