Speaker. as I stand here before my colleagues today. during the 1985 congressional call to conscience vigil for Soviet Jewry. I cannot avoid a deep sense of frustration. I stood before the House during last years vigil to praise the two victims of Soviet oppression whom I have adopted. I have since been following their situations. and I am sorry to report that both are still victims of harsh oppression and religious intolerance. After applying for an emigration visa in 1975. Boris Chernobilsky lost his jop. His application was denied. and he did what in this country every human being has a right to dohe attempted to speak peacably in protest of the Governments action.
