Mr. Speaker. the Soviet Union would have us believe that the flow of Jews from that county has lessened because there is no one left who wants to emigrate. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Members who have taken part in the Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for Soviet Jews have brought us compelling stories of people who have been trying. unsuccessfully. to emigrate from the Soviet Union. I would like to take this opportunity to bring my colleagues up to date on the case of Anatoly Shcharansky. Earlier this year. the House unanimously passed my resolution to ask for the release of Anatoly Shcharansky. a man whose plight has gone from bad to worse since he began seeking emigration. Mr. Shcharansky has been imprisoned in appalling conditions in the Soviet Union.
