Speech #1010123996

I want to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for their participation in the past session of the 101st Congress in the call to conscience. The call to conscience is one of the most effective means by which we in the Senate can focus attention on the plight of Soviet Jews. While much progress has been made in the Soviet Union. and many Soviet Jews have been able to emigrate. much more still needs to be done. Specifically. we must continue to work for the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate. to work for the release of political prisoners. and to press for an end to antiSemitic violence in the Soviet Union. The American people have been captivated by the whirl of events in the Soviet Union. From the White Sea to the Black Sea. a collective upheaval of Soviet Society is taking place.
