Mr. President. I am pleased that my colleague. Senator BOREN. has initiated a Congressional Call of Conscience Vigil in the U.S. Senate on behalf of Soviet Jewry. I am pleased. too. to be an original participant in the vigil. We are all aware of the disappointing decline in emigration numbers. In addition there is reason to believe that the conditions for Jews residing in the Soviet Union are worsening at an accelerated rate. Reports indicate that antiSemitic measures and attitudes are intensifying: Arrests for Jews wanting to leave the country have been stepped up. Jews are given impossible entrance exams barring them from higher education. and the press is more direct in its antiSemitic attacks.
