Until that day comes. this Congress and all people around the world who hold dear human dignity should continue to speak out for all those oppressed. Having met with several refusenik families while I was in the Soviet Union this past summer. I can assure you. Mr. Speaker. that the horror stories we hear about reprisals of those that wish to emigrate are not fiction but hard core facts. facts that we. who have known the precious gift of freedom abhor and despise. Anatoly Shcharansky will no longer have to say "next year in Jerusalem." but there are thousands who still wait to taste the freedom from persecution and degradation. We must continue to fight for their rights and speak out on their behalf.
