In other words. the Soviets just do not have the cash to import heavily from the United States. They need credit and if they need it as badly as I think they do. and as badly as Brezhnev needs it in order to bolster his hold on the collective leadership in the Politburo. then they will just have to bargain for it. One of the things they have that we want is freedom of emigration from the Soviet Union. We have what they want: trade and financing. they have what we want: guarantees of basic human rights. including the right of emigration. Frankly. if the Soviet Union is to have access to our manufactures and technology. and if we are. in a sense. going to subsidize the Soviet defense effort with longterm financing for their consumer needs. then I think it not only proper. but likely. the Soviet Union will see the extreme practicality in permitting those who want to leave the Soviet Union to do so. I do not know what the Soviet leaderships hangup with emigration Is. The United States has tens of thousands of citizens emigrating each year. They go to Australia. Canada.
