Mr. President. during the 15 years that I have been in the Senate. Members of Congress have worked diligently to promote the emigration of Soviet Jews. This was particularly difficult when the Iron Curtain was standing because there was so much repression in the Soviet Union. We worked hard to get one family here. or one person there. to be able to emigrate out of the Soviet Union to Israel. or our country. or to anywhere else In the world. I can remember personally intervening on behalf of a number of families and helping them to leave the Soviet Union. And now we have a window where more than 1 million people will be able to come out of a land where they have been oppressed and discriminated against.
