Mr. Speaker. like many in the Congress I have been following closely the news from the Soviet Union about its new policy of glasnost. or openness. In the last decade we have witnessed a great swing in the pendulum with regards to Soviet Jewry. from a record high emigration in 1979. to a record low in 1986. Today we can be more optimistic than we have had reason to be in many years. though we must remain on guard to ensure that progress in Soviet Jewry and Soviet human rights is being made. Very much is the plight of divided spouses.
