President. a spirit of cautions optimism exists around the world that the relationship between the superpowers is changing for the better. At this time it is important that we keep firmly in mind the cause of those for whom this development holds great personal meaning. For thousands of Jews in the Soviet Union seeking emigration visas. changes in superpower relations could means the opportunity to reunite with family in Israel and the freedom to practice their religion. This year I have had the honor to coordinate the Congressional Call to Conscience Program for Soviet Jews. During the 2d session of this 99th Congress more than half of the Members of the Senate carried their concern for human rights in the Soviet Union to the floor and delivered statements outlining many refusenik cases.
