BOB has taken the lead in organizing the congressional fast and prayer vigil. The outpouring of support for this eventtoday we had 50 Representatives and Senators join us on the steps of the Capitolis testimony to Congress continuing concern for the plight of Soviet Jews. The past year has seen some gratifying developments in the Soviet Union: The release of many highprofile refuseniks. emigration levels above the previous year. and hints of possible liberalization of the treatment of Jews by the Soviet Government. However. we must not forget the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews still suffering solely for their desire to emigrate. The Soviet Government continues to suppress all emigration and maintains the fiction that Jews are only kept in the Soviet Union for reasons of state security. In todays world. secrecy is an unfortunate reality. All nations must guard from potentially corrosive information leaks.
