I am both proud and honored to once again Join with my colleagues in focusing attention on the continued oppression of Soviet Jews through my participation in the Annual Congressional Call to Conscience for Soviet Jews. We must not let our voices falter as we renew our pleas for freedom on behalf of the Jews in the Soviet Union. Victims of a brutal program of cultural repression. Soviet Jews are systematically persecuted for their religious beliefs and denied the opportunity to emigrate. Many are also presently languishing in labor camps as prisoners of conscience. For the most part. these people are not radicals or subversives. but simple citizens who wish to live out their lives in accordance with their religious and cultural heritage.
