Mr. Speaker. I would like. to join my colleagues in this special order to discuss the plight of Jews in the Soviet Union. As Americans. we stand together In support of those basic human rights the Soviet Government continues to deny Soviet Jewsthe right to emigrate and the right of religious freedom. Its essential that we let Soviet Jews know we have not forgotten their struggle. And its equally important for the United States to continue to pressure the Soviet leadership into ending their systematic persecution of Soviet Jews. On July 10 of this year. I sent a letter to the President asking him to raise the issue of the continuing repression of Soviet Jews when he meets with Mikhail Gorbachev in November.
