Mr. Speaker. first I want to thank the chairman for yielding to me and say that I am very pleased that I can comre t!r today in support of mostfavorednation status for the Soviet Union. I think we can look at this day and reflect with pride upon the success of our policy as it relates to Soviet emigration. In 1990 over 180.000 Soviet Jews were allowed to emigrate to the State of Israel. When you compare that to 1974. the year the JacksonVanik law was adopted by this Congress. less than 5.000 Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union. The JacksonVanik law has worked.
