The House, by a unanimous 387-0 vote adopted a resolution this week calling on the Soviet Union to allow Jews there to emigrate and to practice their religion freely, and also called for the end of “indiscriminate arrests and trials of Jewish activists” and an end to the “assaults on Jewish self-study groups.” The resolution urged President Reagan to reiterate to the Soviet government the United States’ strong opposition to the harassment of Jews in the Soviet Union.
