Mr. Speaker. I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker. I strongly support House Concurrent Resolution 34. legislation concerning continued violations by the Soviet Union of its international human rights obligation. especially its violations of the right to emigrate. Virulent antiSemitism continues to be a hallmark of Soviet policy. as the Government attempts to destroy every vestige of Jewish culture and identity. Mr. Gorbachevs new policy of democratization is promising. but is it substantive. We have not yet seen a significant change in Soviet human rights policy. The harassment of Jewish activists has not decreased. antiSemitism pervades the governmentsponsored media. and Jewish homes are still not safe from illegal search and seizures.
