As 12 leading Soviet Jewish scientists recently said: Apprehension for our future fate must not become a means for the unscrupulous exploitation of the humane feelings of American people or a pretext to abandon the fight for our human rights. And the Soviet physicist. Andrei Sakharov. in his open letter to the U.S. Congress. echoed these sentiments in eloquent words: The abandonment of a policy of principle would be a betrayal of the thousands of Jews and nonJews who want to emigrate. of the hundreds in camps and mental hospitals. of the victims of the Berlin Wall. Such a denial would lead to stronger repressions on ideological grounds. It would be tantamount to total capitulation of democratic principles in face of blackmail. deceit and violence.
