Mr. Speaker. I am sure that all my colleagues are painfully aware of the harsh policies the Soviet Union has imposed on Soviet Jews wishing to emigrate. The number of people allowed to emigrate has declined and the treatment of those forced to stay has deteriorated. The recent issue of Currents. a monthly publication from the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry. provides an interesting look at this problem. The article points out that even though 1980 was not a good year for Soviet Jews we must look forward. 1980 should not result in us giving up on our efforts.
