I want to join my colleagues in reflecting on the continuous and systematic suppression of basic liberties which occurs daily in the Soviet Union. Despite the importance of the recent events in Southwestern Asia. which have naturally dominated the international political spotlight in recent months we must not overlook the omnipresent. harsh and uncompromising treatment of Soviet Jews. These people. along with many others belonging to Islamic minorities and the Christian church are denied their most basic freedoms. the freedom to practice religion in a chosen manner and the freedom to emigrate. Courageous Soviets continue to speak out against their governments blatant denial of human rights. These individuals. one after another continue to disappear into the infamous Gulag.
