Speaker. I am honored to Join my colleagues in raising an alarm about the plight of Soviet Jews and their ongoing struggle to gain religious freedom. An alarm must be raised for the more than 400.000 Soviet Jews who have initiated thecomplicated process of obtaining exit visas. An alarm must be raised because the Soviet Union has granted only a small fraction of these visas. An alarm must be raised because applying for an exit visa often marks the beginning of persecution of these Jews and their families. .They are likely to lose their Jobs. They will stop getting their mail and their telephone calls. They will fear for the safety of their children and older relatives.
