Mr. Speaker. I offer my strong support of this concurrent resolution. Our government must do something about the Soviets efforts to virtually halt Jewish emigration from that country. The tragic Soviet policy of denying thousands of people the right to emigrate is one of the great tragedies of this decade. Refuseniks are subject to arbitrary arrests. harassment. and often lose their jobs. Others are denied the right to cultural expression. All of this is being done by Soviet leaders in clear violation of the Helsinki Final Act. I support this effort to convey our concerns to the Soviet Union. I urge my colleagues to do the same.*
