Andre Sakharov and Alexander Solzhenitsyn. They have warned us that it would be a betrayal of all human rights to grant the Soviet Union credit and investment guarantees and mostfavorednation status. Freedom of emigration is a prerequisite that we must not abandon without extracting a commitment to end the repression now so widely practiced. Treatment of Soviet Jews has visibly worsened since Mr. Brezhnevs recent visit to Washington. Fewer exit visas are granted. There are more reports of show trials and psychiatric ward sentences. Jews and other "dissidents" are not only forbidden to emigrate. but are harassed and punished inhumanely. This must not be condoned with American dollars. These practices are diametrically opposed to the foundations of our society.
