In sum. Mr. Speaker. the leaders of the Soviet Union have embarked on a new campaign of intimidation and violence. The Soviet Union is a signatory to both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Helsinki Final Act. Their policies toward the practice and study of Judaism and their emigration policy are in direct violation of these agreements. As we enter a new phase of talks with the Soviet Union we cannot forget the plight of Soviet Jewry. And we must use every resource at our disposal to make certain the Soviet Union lives up to its commitments.
