Speaker. I am honored to be able to participate in this years Soviet vigil which is being sponsored by my good friend and colleague TIM WIRTH. As you are aware. this event shines light on the predicament that thousands of Soviet Jews who seek religious freedom and desire to emigrate find themselves in. I would like to take this occasion to commend Mr. WIRTH for his effort on behalf of this noble cause. It is a wellknown fact that Soviet Jews face extreme difficulties in attempting to emigrate from their homeland. In many instances. once an application is submitted. retaliation for such an "unpatriotic" act is swift and brutal. Today.
