Mr. Speaker. American foreign policy should not only reflect our economic and security interestsbut our moral values as well. Our efforts to promote human rights around the world are a reflection of the freedoms which we Americans cherish. One of our primary efforts in this regard is on behalf ofrefusenikspeople who wish to emigrate from the Soviet Union. The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. FL. recently sponsored a "Childrens Plea for Soviet Jewry." an event designed to highlight the plight of their two adopted "community refuseniks." Yuli Edelshtein and Cherna Goldort. I was honored to attend this remarkable event and even more fortuante to participate in a telephone call to one of these refuseniks.
