This experience evidenced the great hope ahead for people who wish to be free. The Russian Jews we met were the fortunate ones. for their applications were approved by Soviet officials. based on supporting affidavits from relatives in Israel. There have been an average of 2.000 such emigrants a month coming to Israel since the beginning of this year. But out of 3 million Jews in the Soviet Union this number is small indeed. yet it is a good beginning and points to the effectiveness of responsible action. The consensus of all of those to whom we spoke is that responsible U.S. attitudes and world opinion have helped motivate the Soviet Union to relax its policy toward and allow these numbers to migrate.
