While isolated from Soviet society and made outcasts by the Soviet Government. they are denied the right to flee to the land of their kinsmenIsrael. There is no end in sight to the continuing deterioration of the plight of Soviet Jewry. Emigation has reached its lowest point in 10 years. and it continues to decline. Of those few who have been allowed to emigrate. virtually none are among the hundreds of longterm "refuseniks." who have spent 5 years or more as internal refugees waiting to leave the Soviet Union. And harassment of Jewsparticularly those involved in Jewish culture groupshas increased dramatically. I do not pretend that this resolution will automatically reverse the dismal outlook for Soviet Jews.
