Congress and the American people. Finally. I would like to recognize the efforts of other Members of this body who in many ways have drawn attention to this issue. either on an individual casebycase basis or. as our colleague on this side of the aisle from New Jersey . has done. in a general framework by calling on the Soviet Union to end its current policies of restricting religious freedom and emigration by Jews in the Soviet Union. His efforts and those of many others have contributed to the successful progress of the legislation before us. I would urge my colleagues to vote unanimously in favor of House Joint Resolution 373 as a signal to the Soviet Union and the U.N. Human Rights Commission of the undivided commitment of the U.S. Government and its people for religious freedom and the right to emigrate for all peoples. Thank you. Mr.
