He denigrated the Mormon Church in the worst and the ugliest terms. Mr. President. the fears of Russian Jews are evident in the stories refugees tell me and others after they arrive in this country. They say the government is unwilling and unable to protect Jews from humiliation and persecution. They say they are in danger of being exposed to violence or persecution simply because they are .Tews. One Russian refugee who testified before the House International Relations Committee said: Even now. in Russia. Jews must have "nationality--JEW" written on their passports. job applications. birth certificates. and school documents. This refugee went on to say: But worst of all is that the Government in Russia is absolutely incapable of protecting Jews from the neverending persecution and violence. They do not possess the mechanism for enforcing the laws which they already have. the laws which formally protect human rights. The laws are not functioning.
