Speaker. in this mornings New York Times. I read a small article. It said. in effect. that the Soviet Union would bar a talk that had been planned by Jewish scientists living in Russia who had been denied permission to emigrate. This talk. or more accurately. scientific symposium. had been scheduled to take place in Moscow during July. Invited to this conclave were many of the worlds most prominent scientists. including a number of Nobel Prize winners. The purpose was to update the professional qualifications of the Russian Jewish scientists. who. because of their expressed desires to go to Israel. have been denied all academic privileges by the Russian Government. They were dismissed from their posts after requesting permission to emigrate. They are not allowed to do research. they have no facilities to conduct their work. They are not allowed to present their papers at scientific meetings in the Soviet Union or elsewhere.
