Mr. President. I rise today to lend my voice to the Congressional Call to Conscience on behalf of Soviet Jewry. Regrettably. in spite of new leadership in the Soviet Union. the right of the Soviet Jews to emigratea right guaranteed under Basket Three of the Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europecontinues to be denied. Mr. Gorbachevs rise to power in the Soviet Union in March 1985 brought with it bold new appeals for openness. creativity. and selfcriticism. And. indeed. some major changes have been made. Soviet workers are now being publicly criticized for their lack of discipline and dedication.
