We have heard plenty about upcoming wheat deals with the Soviet Union and the prospects of even larger trade deals but we have not heard so much as a rumor of any accomplishments in this allimportant areathe field of human rights. Admittedly. the issue is a complex one for the President to present but not so complex as to be abandoned. Not having heard of any positive results during the Moscow talks concerning Soviet Jewry. and now learning about this latest head tax. I have once more called upon the President. urging him to direct Dr. Kissinger to impress upon Soviet leaders American concern. and serious distress at this flagrant disregard for the basic human right to emigrate. Mr. President.
