Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of House Concurrent Resolution 304. a resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that Yelena Bonner should be allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union for medical reasons. Just 2 months ago. I took the floor of this House. during a special order. and reiterated a widely known charge against the Soviet Government: "antiSemitism is on the rise in the Soviet Union." This week. that constantly expanding rise in official. governmentsponsored antiSemitism reached a new peak. The systematic persecution of Andrei Sakharov and his family has symbolized the plight of many Jews in the Soviet Union.
