Mr. Speaker. I rise to add my voice and that of the people of Puerto Rico to those concerned with the continued suppression of human rights in the Soviet Union. I have often spoken on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. the Jews in the Soviet Union. These men and women are often persecuted and harassed for seeking to exercise a basic human right. their freedom of religion and their freedom to emigrate. On August 26. 1983. a constituent of mine. Ms. Susan Demel. celebrated her bat mitzvah in Puerto Rico. The ceremony marked her entrance into the Jewish community. who joined her in the happiness of the occasion.
