Speaker. this week Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko will be meeting with President Reagan and Secretary of State Shultz. It is imperative that within the context of this event we take this opportunity to urge our Government to make Soviet Jewry an issue in these discussions. The situation within the Soviet Union for Soviet Jewry has continued to deteriorate. Emigration has been virtually eliminated and officially sanctioned antiSemitism has been accelerated through the media. Intimidation and harassment of Jews has become the order of the day. Despite this bleak situation we must persevere in our efforts and continue to speak out on behalf of the 2% million Soviet Jews who remain.
