It specified that the Government may refuse a travel document under three circumstances: (1) if a person has been charged with an offense and judgment is yet pending. (2) if a person has been convicted and is serving a courtimposed sentence. and (3) if a person has yet to discharge his obligation of service in the Soviet army or navy. As Mr. Korey points out. these three reasons are universal reascns applicable to all countries as the basis for refusini to grant an exit visa. Unfortunately however. the Soviet Union in fact doe not abide by its stated written policy. an( in fact bars Soviet Jews from leaving or political grounds which are not permissible under its treaty obligation. The article should be read by even person interested in the fate of Soviel Jewry so that when the occasion arises. a Soviet representative can be asked the question. "Why are you not letting these people go?" He will not be able to evade the truth. and that truth is that the Soviet Union is a violator of international law.
