Mr. Speaker. last year. a record number of Soviet Jews received official permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union. Today. I wish to express my support for the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews who continue to be denied the freedom to emigrate for a variety of unfounded reasons. Every one of the Soviet refuseniks looks to the United States Congress for strong. unequivocal advocacy and representation. Each one desperately needs the support of the Congress to understand that the high numbers we are witnessing today are a result of our determination to continue the Soviet Jewry movement. In these uncertain times. it is very important for Congress to stand together and promote principled support for human rights and human freedom.
