I support this amendment because I believe that passage of title IV as it now stands will cause us to lose considerable leverage in our current negotiating position with the Soviets. This will be the case not only in trade. but in the whole complex of strategic. political and economic interests in which we both have a stake. Furthermore. I am disturbed by the consequences which this title may have on the Soviet Jews and others who must. or who choose to. remain in the U.S.S.R. Our action may encourage the Soviets to substitute indirect forms of harassment for their direct emigration restrictions. This would be a result we should all wish to avoid. Additionally.
