When the adminigtration said to Gorbachev. "Let your people go." our Nation made a commitment to let those people come to our country. Despite the promise of glasnost. many Soviet citizens are still constrained in the practice and teaching of their religion. Antisemitism still prevails in the Soviet Union. While there Is a crack in the Iron Curtain. let America welcome those who can come through. H.R. 2022 recognizes the years of persecution faced by Soviet Jews and Evangelical Christians. and by the Indochinese. I urge my colleagues to vote for this bill which restores the proper balance to our refugee program.
