On that day with one voice we reaffirm our resolve to see an end to religious persecution. I urge very Member of Congress to vote for this resolution expressing support for the greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry whose unflagging commitment to the plight of Soviet Jews has done so much for so many families. Let us join them in protesting the drop in Soviet Jewish emigration from 51.320 in 1979 to just 1.314 this year and the systematic denial of religious rights which other faiths in the Soviet Union enjoy. Let us take this opportunity to show the 300.000 Soviet Jews who have applied for emigration that we will not stop fighting for their freedom. I commend this initiative and strongly urge its unanimous passage.e
