Mr. Speaker. I rise to join the congressional call to conscience vigil for Soviet Jews. Over the last several years we have seen a warming of EastWest relations and I urge Soviet leader Gorbachev to continue this trend in glasnost and perestroika by proceeding In the rise In the number of emigres. In 1988. there were a total of 19.393 Jews who emigrated from the Soviet Union. The Baltic nations have been given the opportunity to demonstrate their nationalism. At the same time there has been continued repression of nationalism In Soviet Armenia and Georgia. This random policy towards the Soviet people confirms the inconsistencies that are still faced by that changing nation.
