I joined 62 of my colleagues in sending a letter to President George Bush on behalf of the Jewish community in Syria. The plight of this persecuted group of Jews is an issue of great importance to our Nation. Currently. there are thousands of Jews living in Damascus. Aleppo. and Qamlshili. who continue to be denied their fundamental political and civil rights to emigrate. We hope that the President will underscore the points raised in our letter with the appropriate Syrian Government officials in the near future. The successful resolution of this longstanding human rights issue will be a major victory for those of us that have been involved with this fight over the years.
