Ari Volvosky of Moscow was sentenced to 3 years in prison for teaching Hebrew and for trying to keep Judaism alive. We cannot forget the cases that do not always receive a great deal of publicity. While the release of Shcharansky is very welcome. none of us can rest until the emigration policies of the Soviet Union are changed. I am pleased to commend the National Conference on Soviet Jewry for its advocacy on behalf of Soviet Jews and for its work on the upcoming resolution. I urge the Senate to vote in favor of the resolution and I strongly urge the Soviets to grant permission to those who wish to emigrate.
