Mr. Speaker. I strongly support House Joint Resolution 376. which calls on the Government of the Soviet Union to release the wives and husbands of United States residents who have been denied the right to emigrate. We must continue to make a commitment to publicly pursue these divided spouse cases with the Soviet Government until they are all resolved. To the men and women who face the suffering of separation every day of their lives. we must pledge our persistence in the struggle for freedom and the preservation of family values. The cruelest possible torture often is not the threat of physical violence. but the certainty of isolation from loved ones for an indefinite period of time.
