Jews in particular are suffering mounting repression at the hands of the Soviet Government and the KGB. Anatoly Shcharansky and Iosef Begun remain in prison. guilty only of being Jewish in a country which considers Judaism a crime. Others who speak out against the harsh Soviet emigration policies. participate in Jewish cultural activities. or simply attempt to teach Judaism are subject to arrest and are constantly harassed by the KGB. No one can say for certain how many more of the countrys 3 million remaining Jews are awaiting the opportunity to emigrate with the Kremlins 95 percent decline in permitted departures. Mr. Speaker. none of this should be news to any of us.
