By providing clear and unmistakable evidence of the nature of the Soviet system. this action has highlighted the need in the Congress and across the Nation to continue our efforts to place before the world the sad treatment of Soviet Jews by their government. As we are all aware. earlier this year the Soviet Government established an antiZionist Committee of the Soviet Public. While the full intentions of this organization are not yet clear. antiJewish propaganda has increased and indications are that the formation of the organization is a signal that Jewish emigration to Israel will be further reduced and that Soviet Jews will continue to be isolated from public life. In light of these developments. it is our duty in this Nation of free men and women to continue shining the light of truth on Soviet actions. Despite the immediacy of the horror of the destruction of the Korean airliner. we must not allow the world to forget the Soviets ongoing persecution of Soviet Jews.*
