Jews in the Soviet Union continue to face devastating oppression by the repressive regime that will not let them practice their religion or emigrate to the land of their forefathers. I have received numerous letters from constituents and nonconstituents alike. urging me to write on behalf of a friend or a relative so that he or she may be allowed to leave the Soviet Union and be reunited in Israel with their families. In Ethiopia. groups such as the Falasha have been singled out by the Government for oppression. The Jews living in Ethiopia are one of the oldest Jewish communities in existence. Most alarming is the fact that the old population of 250.000 Jews in Ethiopia has been reduced to a mere 20.000 and those survivors are not allowed to attend their synagogs nor to emigrate to Israel. Since the end of World War II. the world has had to bear witness to numerous calamities which have resulted in the loss of countless Jewish lives. No region has been granted immunity from antiSemitism be it the Middle East.
