We will remember the miraculous birth of the Jewish State in Israel. an oasis of democracy in a sea of dictatorships. a place where the exile has found a home. and where the very desert has been made to bloom. We will rejoice that thousands of Jews from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe will worship for the first time in freedom. But we will mourn that tens of thousands of others who remain locked in the gulags of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe yearning for the freedom of Jerusalem. while the embattled Jewish minority in Syria struggles to survive and wrench from its oppressive Government the right to emigrate. As we end the holy days with the solemn fasting and prayers of Yom Kippur. let us also renew our commitment to work "to loosen the fetters of wickedness. to undo the bands of the yoke. and to let the oppressed go free." Mr. Speaker. may I wish to you and to all my colleagues a happy new year of peace. freedom. and justiceand may this be the year of deliverance for the people of Israel throughout the world from all their enemies.e
