iaroduced a Senate concurrent
resolution urging the President "to
call upon the Soviet government to
permit the free exercise of reli-
gion by all its citizens, to end dis-
crimination against religious m:
norities and to permit its- citizens
to emigrate from the Soviet Union
to the countries of their choice."
Cooper said "the Soviet Union's
policy of infringing on the basic
human rights of Soviet Jews - is
an obstacle to the development of
better understanding and better re-
lations between the United States
and the Soviet Union."
