I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker. I want to join in commending our colleague. the gentleman from Texas. He made a number of very excellent points. One very important point. I thought. was that the denial of emigration from the Soviet Union is in violation of treaties to which they have agreed. in violation of their own laws. their own agreements. and how difficult it is to make agreements with a power that is like that. That is something that we again explore as we look at how this project ties in. Mr. Speaker. I would just like to commend the gentlemans very. very eloquent statement that. indeed. does go to the heart of what is a tremendous problem in this world. that kind of lack of freedom. the problem for the Jews and others in the Soviet Union who want to leave that country and are not permitted to by a government which some say if they let some leave. they would have to let so many people leave that they would not have many people in the Soviet Union.
