This deprivation of freedom exists in the Soviet Union. Thousands of Jews throughout the Soviet Union are denied the very freedoms that we in the United States hold so dear. America cannot ignore the mistreatment of this community. Soviet Jews are prohibited from worshipping as they please. or from expressing their beliefs and opinions. Perhaps worst of all. they are not allowed to leave. In 1979. the peak year for Soviet Jewish immigration. over 51.000 Jews were allowed to emigrate. Last year. only about 1.000 Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union. This year the figure may even be lower.
