Mr. President. the issue of Soviet emigration is a pressing one in the lives of many Americans. It is time for some initiative to be taken on behalf of the many Soviet refuseniks wishing to emigrate. These individuals lives are being wasted as they are persecuted by the Soviet Government. They have done nothing to deserve such harsh treatment. yet their request for emigration is repeatedly denied. The Soviet Government still refuses to allow Soviet Jews to study Hebrew or practice their religion. These few steps taken by Jewish refuseniks in order to obtain some sense of religious meaning in their lives are punished by arrest or imprisonment.
