Isaak has only one reason to continue to livethe tortured hope that someday still he will be able to escape this totalitarian hell and rejoin his family in Israel. Mr. Speaker. try for a moment to imagine yourself in Isaaks shoes. persecuted cruelly by your own government for nothing more criminal than an expressed desire to live and worship freely. Try to see the faces of 400.000 other Soviet Jews who have been denied exit visas. and who have faced hardships similar to Isaaks. Even as we reach for improved relations with the Soviets. we must not let the world overlook such gross violations of internationally recognized supposedly recognized even by the Soviets I might add. human rights. On Isaaks behalf.
