Mr. Speaker. I rise today for the purposes of alerting my colleagues to a truly painful situation for the remaining Jews in Syria. As many of my colleagues are aware. emigration from Syria Is extremely restrictive and Jews cannot leave without posting large monetary deposits and leaving behind close relatives as assurance of their return. Mr. Speaker. the time has come for men and women of good conscience to place the Issues of Syrian Jews much higher on the American human rights agenda. For my colleagues Information. I would like to point out that March 14th marked the "Sabbath of Remembrance" to remember Syrian Jews.
