I thank my distinguished colleague. the gentleman from New York. for yielding. and I am pleased to join our colleagues today in commemorating "International Day of Concern for Soviet Jews." Today. and all this week. across this country and throughout the world. concerned men and women are demonstrating their support for the beleaguered Jewish minority in the U.S.S.R. Rallies. demonstration. seminars. and exhibits on the plight of Soviet Jewry are taking place. Last Sunday. in my congressional district. the South Florida Conference on Soviet Jewry convened a "Freedom Rally 1984" to express concern over decreasing Soviet emigration rates and escalating antiSemitism in the Soviet Union. We in the U.S. Congress share this concern and. through this special order. are demonstrating our strong and continuing commitment to freedom for Soviet Jews.
