Mr. Speaker. Jewish scientists who have tried to emigrate from the Soviet Union have suffered harsh reprisals. For example. most have been refused the right to continue their scientific work. A number of these scientists have courageously insisted on preserving their professional skills by participating in scientific seminars. They have received threats from the Soviet Government for doing so. I call to the attention of my colleagues a cable sent by 14 prominent scientistsincluding 4 Nobel Laureatesto U.S.S.R. President Nikolai V. Podgorny. Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev. and State Chairman/Science and Technology Kirillin. The text of the cable follows: New attempts by the Soviet authorities to close down the weekly scientific seminar led by our colleague.
