For many of the refuseniks. we are their hope and inspiration. By adopting House Resolution 450. the House of Representatives today reiterates its fervent support for the thousands of brave Soviet Jews who seek to flee oppression. As Americans. we cannot fully appreciate the personal courage of these people who sacrifice so much by making the decision to fulfill their right to emigrate as delineated in the Helsinki accords and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is our moral obligation to stand in solidarity with the Soviet Jews as they endure in their battle to secure freedom. Solidarity Sunday is a firm expression of our determination to remain faithful in this struggle.*
