This action by the government is cruel. inhumane. and common in the Soviet Union. This case made the front pages all over the world. and governments are urging the Soviets to grant Elena Bonner permission to leave. We must remember. however. that this case represents a much larger problem. Thousands of Jews in the Soviet Union are inhumanely treated and want to emigrate. Over the past several years. there has been a drastic reduction in the number of Jews allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Mr. Speaker. the Soviet Government can be assured that this tragedy will not go unnoticed by the Congress and the American people.
