Mr. President. I wish to bring to your attention the second annual Freedom Run which took place in Tucson. Ariz.. on December 6. Over 1.000 Arizonans participated in the run to draw attention to the plight of thousands of Soviet Jews who have been refused permission to emigrate from their country. It is a well known fact that Soviet authorities have consistently violated the basic human rights of that nations citizens. "Refuseniks" are restricted. deprived. and often imprisoned merely because of their religious or political -beliefs. This sort of punishment without crime is a blatant abuse of human rights. It is intolerable.
