I believe. for two of the brightest moments in a career in Congress that spanned four decades: His fierce dedication to the cause of human rights in the Soviet Union and his opposition to the malignant excesses of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Today. more than a quarter of a million Soviet Jews live in freedom because of HENRY JACKSON. It was Senator JACKSON who formulated the linkage between American trade with Communist nations and the humanity of their emigration policies. It is a monument to his vision that he created a practical tool of economic leverage in foreign relations. He joined with Senator Symington of my State and with Senator McClellan in standing up to the evil work of Senator Joseph McCarthy.
