Mr. President. I rise today to speak out on behalf of the 1.400 Syrian Jews not permitted to emigrate from Syria. March 6. 1993. has been designated as the Shabbat Remembrance Day for Syrian Jewry. and people around the world have been asked to show solidarity with oppressed Jews In Syria. I join in this cause. In April 1992. the Syrian Government began allowing Jews to leave the country. This decision was well received in both the Congress and the Bush administration. and 2.500 of the 4.000 Syrian Jews arrived in the United States. However. since October 1992. very few exit permits have been granted.
