Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak on behalf of Yuli Kosharovsky. his wife. Inna. and his son. Mikhail. whose only crime is a desire for religious freedom: a desire to emigrate from the Soviet Union to Israel. The framers of our Constitution know the guarantee of religious freedom is paramount. It forms the basis of all other civil liberties. The Soviets are well aware of this. That is why Yuli and Inna and even their child are being persecuted by the Soviets. The totalitarian Soviet Government knows that religion gives people a strength beyond their own. Religion encourages thought and resistance to oppression.
