Mr. President. the State Departments 1991 country reports on human rights practices in 1991 also provided details on this situation. It states that the Syrian Government does indeed closely restrict Jewish emigration. The Government has a general policy of not issuing visas to all members of a Jewish family at the same time. The report also states that Jews are among those who must post a bond of $3001.000 in order to leave the country. Mr. President. I want Syria to know that we. in the Senate. are concerned about these reports of limited emigration and surveillance. President Assad must be made aware that for any improvement of relations. real progress in human rights must be evident.*
