Our Government has a responsibility to raise these issues again and again. even as we work to improve relations and to negotiate difficult issues like arms control. Unless we acknowledge the full range of issues that separate our two nations. any summit euphoria will be short lived. Among the most pressing and difficult issues is the treatment of Jews within the Soviet Union. and the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate. While the General Secretary attempted to gloss over these issues. the fact is that even under Gorbachev. Jews continue to face intense persecution in the Soviet Union. and tens of thousands of Jews are still denied the right to emigrate. For 4 years I served as chairman of the House Subcommittee on Human Rights. During that time.
