Berenshteins sight is quickly deteriorating. A promised visit with his family was recently canceled and he has still not received comprehensive medical treatment. His daughter and her husband have also applied for an exit visa. but Soviet authorities appear unlikely to grant their request. Mr. Speaker. let me conclude by joining with so many others iII this House and in our country. I again call upon the Soviet Union to honor the universal declarations on human rights to which they are a signatory and grant the Jewish people of the Soviet Union their basic human rights. I urge the Soviet Union to end its harassment and to establish a fair and reasonable emigration policy and allow the Jewish people of the Soviet Union to emigrate.
