I want to compliment you for having this special order on an issue that I think much of the American public does not understand what is going on here: A very basic tragedy in the way that the Russians are treating a group of people. denying them their basic freedoms. but not only that. accusing them of things that never occurred and going further. imprisoning them. and as a result. many of these people ending up physically damaged as the result of the treatment that the Soviet authorities have given them. Mr. Speaker. I am here today to speak on behalf of human rights. More specifically. I wish to talk about the plight of thousands of Soviet Jews who may not freely practice their faith in their homeland. nor emigrate to Israel. The Soviet Government has paralyzed Jewish emigration and is now trying to eradicate Judaism in the Soviet Union. Jewish refuseniks are continually harassed by the authorities. Many lose their Jobs.
