Mr. Speaker. less than 900 Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate in 1984. The situation cannot get much worse for Jewish families in the Soviet Union. A vicious statesponsored campaign of antiSemitism is underway against Soviet Jews who seek to practice their religious heritage and pass on the faith and legacy to their children. Often. blatantly false criminal charges are brought against refuseniks whose only crime Is the desire to emigrate and be reunited with family living outside the Soviet Union. These brave and embattled people deserve our untiring efforts to call attention to their plight. and to press for their right to emigrate. I commend my colleagues. JOHN PORTER.
