Madam Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to Poland. a country that continually impresses the world with its raw courage and tenacious commitment to the causes of freedom and democracy. Four nights ago in my home State of New York. Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki announced that Poland will provide emigrating Soviet Jews with an air route to Israela path to freedom. This is a significant and courageous offer. What irony! Poland. once site of the Nazis most atrocious and horrific death camp. Auschwitz. is now a beacon of freedom to Soviet Jewry. a bridge from a life of fear and persecution to a promising new life in the land of Israel.
