Mr. Speaker. I am very honored to join the efforts of my distinguished colleagues in recognizing this day as the "International Day of Concern for Soviet Jews." I also wish to thank my colleagues for organizing this special order so we can pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews seeking their right to emigrate. to practice their religion freely. and to study their history and culture. Once again. we must speak out against the blatant violations of human rights in the Soviet Union. On February 23. 1984. I had the privilege of meeting three young constituents who are studying at the University of Maryland.
