Our support for the principles of the Helsinki Final Act and the International Declaration on Human Rights have not diminished in the least. on the contrary. our commitment to human rights for Soviet Jews and others is greater than ever. Mr. Speaker. House Concurrent Resolution 34 is the result of Natan Shcharanskys personal visit to numerous Members of Congress and the leadership of both parties. It is a measure that requests compliance with one of the most basic of human rights. the right to be with ones family. Accordingly. I urge my colleagues to support this measure overwhelmingly. and in so doing. to send a clear signal to the Soviet Government that the new restrictive emigration regulations impinges upon human rights.
