I was floor manager and co-sponsor. The measure is an important reaffirmation of the -United States' commitment toward as- sisting Israel in her continuing struggle against internal eco- nomic problems and external political forces which threaten her existence .. . In the course of the debate, I was pleased to offer an amend- ment which was unanimously adopted again pointing out the tragic plight of Soviet Jewry and calling upon Soviet leaders to re- lease Anatoly Shcharansky, Josef Begun, and other prisoners of con- science. My amendment also calls upon the Soviets to immediately issue exit permits to the many known long-term refuseniks such as Ida Nudel and Vladimir Slepak and to pledge to expeditiously handle the applications of thousands of Jews seeking to leave the Soviet Union to join their relatives abroad. In view of the upcoming summit meeting between President Re- agan and Soviet leader Gor- bachev, the passage of this amendment emphasizes the im- portant position Soviet Jewry oc- cupies in U.S. policy at a critical juncture in U.S.-Soviet relations.

May I call your attention to a very important scholarly work calledAfes Damim by I.B. Levinson, one of the lead- ers of the Haskallah in Russia. His book was written at the re- quest of representative rabbis from Lithuania and Poland in connection with the blood libel that took hold in the city of Saslov. Many Jews were arrested and fear of a pogrom spread in the city of Saslov and in other neighboring Jewish communities. The book contains a number of out-of-print historical documents taken from the law books of the provincial government of Lvov dated March 16, 1963. One document cites the many privileges officially granted to the Jews by King Sigismond III. Along with this document comes Article 21. This article declares in definite terms that no Jew ought to be ac- cused of ritual murder and that the declaration of Pope Innocent' as well as the decisions of the higher courts state that Jews are not guilty in such crimes, and that use of blood is contrary to Jewish law. It further states that in the event any Christian guided by an impulse of his character should insist on a trial of a Jew whom he is accusing of ritual murder, said Christian is obligated to produce as witness two Jews who are hon- est dwellers in the city, are prop- erty owners and are recognized as Jews devoted to their religion and only under such conditions and by a due process of law can the ac- cused Jew suffer death punish- ment for the murder committed. On the other hand, should the Christian fail to produce such witnesses, he himself shall suffer the same punishment. The article furhter states that in the event similiar accusations spiTiERI PHONI. 557-1 108 Our country has had some 40 years of agitation and court fights over the school prayer issue.
