President. earlier this summer an interfaith delegation led by Seymour Graubard and Ben Epstein presented United Nations Ambassador George Bush with a "Statement of Conscience" decrying the mistreatment of Jews in the Soviet Union. The statement was signed by over 8.000 Christian clergy and church officials from every State in the Union. The "Statement of Conscience" calls on the Soviet Union to grant permission to those Soviet Jews who desire to do so to emigrate to Israel or to any other country and to insure the unhindered exercise of this right. I earnestly hope that the Soviet Union will implement -this policy. Those who wish to leave the Soviet Union should be free to do so.
