I am referring to the congressional fast and prayer vigil for Soviet Jewry. Imprisoned Soviet Jewsthose in work camps and confinement. and those imprisoned by fear and desperationhave seen their hopes for fulfilling lives mocked because they seek to live in a free society. They have always needed our help. however. our support is even more urgent now in light of the severe reduction in emigration. Soviet authorities claim the emigration of its Jewish citizens has slowed to a trickle because the majority of those who wished to leave have already done so. Do they also expect us to believe that the formation of a Soviet antiZionist organization is a genuine expression of the Soviet citizenry? That its platform which links Zionism to Nazism is in no way motivated by the Governments desire to promote antiSemitism while simultaneously suppressing the desires of individuals who seek to emigrate to Israel? Mr. Speaker. our Government. our Nation. and the worldwide community are expected to accept these flagrant falsehoods.
