Mr. President. today marks the beginning of another series of statements by Senators on behalf of those denied freedom in the Soviet Union. The Congressional Call to Conscience. organized every year since 1976 by the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews. has offered an opportunity for Members of Congress to call attention to individuals and families in the Soviet Union who seek freedom through emigration to the West. I am honored to share with my distinguished colleague Senator CRANSTON of California the responsibility of leading this years Congressional Call to Conscience. Senator CRANSTON has always been in the lead on the issue of human rights for Soviet Jews. and his participating in this effort adds to that honorable record.
