I realize. Mr. Speaker. that this mornings newspapers are carrying stories that the Soviets may allow as many as 11.000 Jewish people to emigrate this year. We all hope that this may be true. But let us remember President Kennedys warning that "civility is not a sign of weakness. and sincerity is always subject to proof." I am particularly glad that this resolution makes reference to the fact "continued human rights abuses by the Soviet Union. especially its refusal to permit all those who wish to emigrate to do so. seriously affect the atmosphere for productive negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union * * *" may we never lose sight of this linkage. And I urge the unanimous adoption of this resolution.
