House Concurrent Resolution 336. expresses the concern of Congress over compliance by the Soviet Union with certain international agreements on human rights. The resolution is sponsored by our colleague. the gentleman from Connecticut. TOBY MoFFTT. and describes the problem of emigration from the U.S.S.R. Time and time again I have said that if our human rights policy is to have any meaning to the Soviets. there must be linkage. I commend the gentleman from Connecticut for his leadership on this issue and urge all my distinguished colleagues to support House Concurrent Resolution 336. Mr. Speaker. subsequent resolutions concern individual cases involving emigration desires of certain citizens within the Soviet Union.
