It is the Soviet Union that harasses them. beats them. and imprisons them on trumpedup charges. It is the Soviet Union that engages in statesupported antiSemitism and slanderously accuses Jews of using narcotics in their religious rituals. And it is the Soviet Union that has slowed emigration to a mere trickle and prevented Jews from escaping this repression. Later this month. the signatories to the Helsinki accords will meet in Ottawa to discuss their compliance with the portions of that agreement that deal with human rights. Our delegation knows that it has the full support of the Congress and the American people in its struggle to assure the rights of people everywhere.*
