Mr. President. once again it is my privilege to join my colleagues in the congressional call to conscience vigil for Soviet Jewry. Although there has been some recent improvement. tremendous obstacles still face many Soviet citizens who have applied for permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union. The persecution and restrictions facing many Soviet citizens. particularly those who consistently practice their religion. are well documented. These activities by the Soviet Government are clearly in violation of the Geneva accords. Many of us in the Senate will continue to call upon the Government of the Soviet Union to recognize the rights of their fellow citizens.
