Mr. President. the plight of the Soviet Jew today is indeed a sorrowful one. The Kremlin has systematically assaulted the spirits and human dignity of all Soviet Jews. The rate of emigration by Jews is at an 11year low. The indiscriminate arrest and imprisonment of Jews has become commonplace. Surely all peoples of the free world are appalled by the Soviet Unions inhumane treatment of brave Soviet citizens. such as Andrei Sakharov. who refuses to be muzzled by a government bent on oppressing its Jewish citizens. But Just as disturbing as those chronicled inhumanities are the lesspublicized but equally damaging acts of antisemitism the Kremlin has sanctioned: Jewish culture. history and religion study groups forced to disband. the government media used as a vehicle to defame and to malign Jewish citizens.
