Mr. President. while many recent changes in the U.S.S.R. are encouraging. the world should not forget that many Soviet citizens are still denied basic human freedoms. This is particularly true of many Jews. who suffer discrimination in housing. education. and employment. and are often denied permission to emigrate to live in another country. We must continue to call attention to the plight of these people and to press for greater religious tolerance. freedom of travel. and fundamental human rights. The Congressional Call to.Conscience Vigil is an annual opportunity for Members of Congress to speak out on the denial of basic freedoms to Soviet Jews.
