There has been a dramatic rise in ugly antiJewish propaganda in both the official media and the popular press apparently much of it KGB inspired. The offensive written sentiments are too often reinforced by violence and physical incidents against the Jewish population. This simply cannot be tolerated. Mr. Speaker. the fundamental problem facing Soviet Jews and other Soviet citizens wishing to emigrate is the fact that this basic human right is not encapsulated in law. For over 2 years we have heard Soviet official promises that the pending emigration reform law would be approved. The citizens of the Soviet Union are still waiting. We are still waiting.
