Mr. Speaker. while every Soviet Jew granted an emigrant visa and every prisoner of conscience released from the gulag is an event to be celebrated. I would like to add a word of caution about the alleged "glasnost" or openness policy proclaimed by Mr. Gorbachev. A prisoner who is taken from behind bars but who is prevented from practicing freedom of religion or freedom to return to the land of his or her people is still a prisoner. So while I welcome any overtures from the Soviet Union which will lead us down the path to true peace and true freedoms.
