I am convinced that we must continue to put pressure on the Soviet Union. For this reason. the subcommittee has held numerous hearings and numerous markups on the Soviet Union during my tenure as chairman. We must not ignore one offensive act. whether it is a denial of emigration. a denial of intellectual. religious. or political freedoms. or the denial of dignity so necessary for the human spirit. Today. we in the U.S. Congress intercede on behalf of the Meimans and all other unresolved emigration cases. Tomorrow. todays demands of the Soviet Union on behalf of its citizenry will not be forgotten. We must continue our fight until not even one person is barred from leaving the Soviet Union. or from living a life free from oppression within this East bloc country.
