Mr. Speaker. as Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe. I am constantly made aware of the plight of many Soviet Jews who are being denied their right to emigrate from the Soviet Union to the country of their choice. In 1981. the level of Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union reached a 10year low. a disturbing indication of the Soviets disregard for the doctrines of human rights so clearly established by the Helsinki Final Act. Despite this pessimistic outlook for many Soviet Jews. there is no doubt that concern for these individuals remains strong throughout the United States and the world. I am proud to note that one of my constituents.
