Madam Chairman. I rise today to speak in support of H.R. 2022 and the Lipinski amendment and against the administration. which continues to carry out Ed Meeses August 1988 directive to the Immigration and Naturalization Service on new operating procedures for Soviet Jews and other minority applicants for refugee status. Is it not ironic: Now we need not only push the Soviet Union to expand and legalize their human rights reforms. but beg the U.S. administration to rectify their treatment of these freed Russian immigrants. For decades. America has spoken out against Soviet oppression. We have tried to enlighten the world to the plight of Soviet refuseniksJews.
