We are both. with other countries. signatories to the Helsinki Agreements of 1975. A decade has passed since the signing of the Helsinki documents. and we think it is time that we demand that the Soviets keep their part of the bargain. Now is the ideal moment to push for increased emigration. now. when we are back at the negotiating tables with the Soviets. In fact. I feel so strongly about this that Senator MoyNIHAN and I garnered the support of the majority of Congress and wrote to the President asking for separate negotiations with the Soviets on the issue of Jewish emigration. Emigration is something to be hoped for. and prayed for. and worked for. I shall continue to make this issue a priority. as it is for Vladimir Feltsman. for Lev Shapiro. for Anatoly Shcharansky. Ida Nudel. and countless others who live for the day they will be permitted to emigrate and be reunited with their loved ones and permitted to practice their chosen religion. Let us hope. and pray and work toward the goal of making this the last year that we must have our congressional fast and prayer vigil on behalf of Soviet Jews. and that next year they will no longer be Soviet Jews. but free men and women.e
