Mr. Speaker. I rise today to take part in the Congressional CalltoConscience Vigil. Over the past several weeks. we have heard proposals from the President. community leaders. and Members of the Congress all calling for some tangible recognition of the increased emigration of Soviet Jews that has been permitted over the past 2 years. Some have even called for a relaxation of the Jackson/Vanik restrictions that have denied favored trading status to any nation that restricts emigration. Mr. Speaker. I would like to add my voice in recognizing the almost unprecedented numbers of emigres that have left the Soviet Union this year.
