The Slepaks and other Soviet Jews are prohibited from living freely and from observing their religion as they choose. yet they are prevented from leaving the country. These people must know that the world has neither abandoned them nor forgotten the beliefs for which they stand. Mr. Speaker. as in all previous years since the "Call to Conscience Vigil" began in 1976. I pledge my continuing support for the freedom of Soviet Jews. and it is my sincere hope that this year. Vladimir and Maria Slepak will emigrate to Israel and that It will not be necessary for me to speak on their behalf again next year..
