Speaker. over the past 6 months I have had the honor to serve as cochairman. along with my distinguished colleague. Representative CARDISS COLLINS. of the Congressional Call to Conscience for Soviet Jewry. During this time. dozens of our colleagues have spoken out on behalf of freedomfreedom for those who only wish to exercise their basic right to emigrate. In this era of glasnost. our hopes have been raised that real reforms will take place in the Soviet Union. However. despite the release of some wellknown dissidents and refuseniks. thousands of others. people who are perhaps not wellknown or not publicized by the media. still languish inside the Soviet Union.
