The Israelis have a right to survival and the enjoyment of their nationhood. The Arabs have the same right. and I hope for the sake of all us. these great peoples can settle their differences. I traveled to Russia as well. to urge that the cruel restrictions be removed and Soviet Jews be allowed to emigrate freely to Israel. I strongly oppose the socalled "education" tax that Russia was requiring of those desiring to leave. While the Soviet Union waived this ransom under U.S. pressure last April and has not levied it since. Soviet Jews still have formidable hurdles on their journey to freedom. Often visas are denied for trumpedup reasons of "security" or sometimes for no official reason at all. As long as this continues. I will oppose granting the Soviet Union mostfavorednation status in trade relations with the United States.
