I speak today to convey to the other Members of the House my Impression from my most recent trip to the Soviet Union. While there. I spent a great deal of time discussing the plight of Soviet Jews who are not allowed to emigrate. After a year and a half of serving as the freshman cochar of the Congressional Caucus on Soviet Jewry. and after countless letters and communications with Soviet officials on behalf of individual Jewish refuseniks. divided spouses and families. I have found no rationale or pattern that governs the Soviet decisions as to who Is let go and who is left behind.
