In some ways. it seems. Mr. Speaker. that the more things change. the more they remain the same. We are witnesses to massive Soviet Jewish emigration. not only due to relaxed policies. but also because of the rise of Soviet antiSemitism. Just recently the Soviet Communist Party newspaper Pravda discussed this matter openly. An article from the Los Angeles Times discusses this new manifestation. which I am inserting in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD for our colleagues review. While it is news in and of itself that the highest ranks of the Communist Party have finally acknowledged this serious matter. and have further openly verified that antiSemitism is a grave cause for concern in the Soviet Union. it is also testament to the ongoing need for the Helsinki process.
