Schroeter who just returned from visiting Soviet Jewish leaders: The Soviet appetite with respect to this matter is unlimited. and if ransom is paid it will only encourage further imposition (already threatened) with respect to technical schools and even secondary schools. Another distressing feature of this policy is that it may have been instituted at this time in order to obtain muchneeded hard currency with which to purchase Western goods. The Soviets may be acting on the premise that the world Jewish community will pay the ransom fee to help its brethren emigrate to Israel. If economic gain is indeed one motive for the further Soviet harassment of Jews. then It is appropriate that the United States link the moral issues involved with United States.-Soviet trade relations. Congress has the constitutional responsibility for the establishment of trade relations with other nations.
