Mr. Speaker. I would like to once again bring to the attention of the Members the plight of Soviet Jewry and the struggles of these people to emigrate. With the Olympics approaching. real progress in helping the Soviet Jews emigrate can be made. Many of the refuseniks have relatives in the United States and Israel. The Soviet Unions refusal to allow these people to be reunited with their families amounts to a direct violation of the Helsinki Accords which the U.S.S.R. signed in 1975. The agreement stipulates that persons who wish to be reunited with their families would be treated in a positive humanitarian spirit.
