I am also glad that the colloquy we have just listened to. and the statements that have been volunteered earlier by the Senator from Connecticut. emphasize that this amendment applies to all within the Soviet Union. all people in Communist countries. irrespective of religious belief. My own recent visit to Moscow. just a. month ago. satisfies me that the Soviets are totally impartial in the way in which they distribute their harassment. their repression. their torture. their recrimination. Not only do we have the wellknown cases of the thousands of Jews who are seeking to emigrate to Israel. but I am in possession right now of a list of 6.000 heads of households of ethnic Germans that was presented to me by Dr. Andrei Sakharov. These Volga German families include more than 25.000 men. women. and children who have been seeking the right to emigrate. These happen to be simple peoplefarmers. miners. They have no state secrets. and they have not been the recipients of costly education.
