Mr. President. today I rise to express my concern over reports I have heard of the mistreatment of Jews in Syria. This community of 4.000 lives primarily in the cities of Damascus. Aleppo. and Kamishli. According to testimony given by Alice Sardell Harary. president of the Council for the Rescue of Syrian Jews before the House Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Organizations February 2d. the Syrian Government has prevented Syrian Jews from emigrating and has denied them other rights as well. Ms. Hararys testimony spoke of a community living under 24hour surveillance by Syrias secret police. Jewish schools are ordered to submit daily attendance sheets to the secret police.
