Yet. while these great issues are being discussed. this is also an appropriate time to remind ourselves of the grave human concerns all free men must feel about the conditions which face many individual Soviet citizens. Many of us have raised with Mr. Brezhnev the evidence that. despite recent adjustments in emigration taxes. Soviet Jews who wish to leave that country are still harassed and persecuted. in defiance of internationally accepted emigration practices. We know that tens of thousands of Soviet Jews are denied both the right to practice their religion in the Soviet Union and to leave that country in search of religious and cultural freedom. These are practices a land dedicated to human liberty can neither understand nor accept.
