Mr. President. I rise today to join PAT MOYNIHAN. my distinguished colleague from New York. as a cosponsor of this resolution calling for "Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry" as a show of support for the over 3 million Jews in the Soviet Union who are struggling to maintain their cultural heritage. In 1984. the number of Soviet Jews allowed to emigrate dropped to 896. after a high of 51.320 in 1979. This figure is truly shocking. The Soviet Unions oppression of Jews is ever present and ever increasing. Because of extreme Soviet antiSemitism. Soviet Jews are forced to live in a world void of their culture.
