Already these vital voices have been stripped of some of their potential. It would appear that the voice of Alexander Solzhenitsyn fell on deaf ears when he said in an interview that: If we ever hear about events in this country. it is through them (Radio Liberty). Just last week. the Senator from Arkansas in a speech to the American Bankers Association assailed as a "renewal of the cold war" the moves on Capitol Hill to block trade concessions to the Soviet Union until its citizens are allowed to emigrate freely. I respectfully disagree. I submit that we cannot allow our commitment to the captive nations of the world to falter. Our methods. yes. must be different. We must insistas we have in the case of the Jackson amendmentthat the Soviet Government loosen up their system. allow emigration. as a condition for any trade concessions. I believe we ought to add another condition. and that is a halt to the jamming of our radio broadcasts. Let us have peace. let us have detente. but let us not. in our concern. forget the plight of those who are forbidden the blessings of liberty we take for granted.
