Mr. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to voice my strong support of House Concurrent Resolution 91. urging the Government of Syria. on humanitarian grounds. to permit Syrian Jews to emigrate. The plight of the 5.000 Jews who remain in Syria today is clearly emphasized by this measure. more importantly. the resolution lets both the Syrian Government and the Syrian Jewish community know that they have not been forgotten. The resolution calls upon the Syrian Government. on humanitarian grounds. to recognize its obligations under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to give those Syrian Jews who want to emigrate. the right to do so. Syria is literally the only Arab nation which has not given its Jewish citizens the right to emigrate to other lands. It is my earnest hope that this congressional resolution will contribute to the freedom of Syrian Jewish emigration.0
