I rise today in response to the Congressional Call to Conscience Vigil for Soviet Jews. As a member of the Massachusetts Union of Council for Soviet Jews. I have consistently supported and will continue to support letters written to General Secretary Gorbachev and other world leaders on behalf of Soviet Jews and all others being oppresed by their governments and being denied permission to emigrate to the country of their choice. I cant tell you how many "Dear Colleague" letters I have sent or cosigned dealing with Soviet Jewry. I am always moved by anger and sympathy whenever I read of Soviet citizens resorting to hunger strikes. as Les and Ina Elbert did. as a last attempt to gain their freedom.
