Mr. President. I rise today to join my colleagues in the "congressional call to conscience" vigil for Soviet Jews and to express my profound concern about the continuing plight of the Soviet Unions Prisoners of Conscience. It is distressing that the Soviet Union not only refuses to increase the rate of Jewish emigration. but over the last 6 years it has sharply cut the rate. As Americans. we are accustomed to rights and freedoms that Soviet Jews can only dream of. We cannot ignore the plight of Soviet Jews. It is not merely an internal matter for the Soviet authorities.
