Mr. Speaker. once again my colleagues and I have come to the floor to speak out for the right of free emigration. religious freedom. and basic human rights. The recent release of Anatoly Shcharansky serves as a monument to our untiring efforts at ameliorating the plight of Soviet prisoners of conscience. We must continue to pressure the Soviet Union to respect the human rights of her citizens. We have often come to speak out for freedom with hopes that our message will be heard. We must continue. for silence is complicity. We have let the people of the world know that terror. suppression. and institutionalized antisemitism will not be tolerated.
