Speech #980170455

These freedoms are so evident. so widely recognized. that they have faded into the background of our lives. We frankly and openly take them for granted. Other peoples of the world are riot as lucky. For example. I am always shocked and dismayed when I read of the harassment and imprisonment of Jews in the Soviet Union. Courageous young men and women whose only crime is a desire for religious freedom. or the wish to emigrate. to start a new life or join family in another country. are instead imprisoned for years and made to work like slaves. This is the "justice" of the Soviet courts. Madam President.
