Mr. President. since 1976. Members of Congress have joined together in a Congressional Call to Conscience on behalf of the large number of Jews in the Soviet Union who suffer persecution. The precipitous decline in the number of Jews allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union in the past 4 years is indeed disturbing. This is particularly so as it has been accompanied by a substantial increase in violence. persecution. and discrimination against Jews in the Soviet Union. I am therefore pleased to join the Congressional Call to Conscience for the 99th Congress. I would strongly urge my colleagues to participate in this important human rights initiative.
