Mr. President. in connection with our consideration of the agreement on emigration. I would like to express briefly my own deep concern that it will not be fully or fairly implemented so long as freedom of posts. telephone and telegraph is impaired. We all are aware of instances where telephone service to applicants for emigration and to dissidents has been cut off. I understand also that there has been a problem of nondelivery of invitations mailed from relatives in Israel to Soviet Jews. invitations which are necessary to them to begin the emigration process. Human rights are not divisible. Freedom to emigrate. freedom to return to ones county. freedom of postal. telephone and telegraph service. freedom of expression. freedom of the press. freedom to publish. freedom to worshipall are essential and part of a whole. With the agreement on emigration we have made an important contribution in the field of human rights. I hope that it will lead to further progress in human rights for all those who do not enjoy basic civil. social and political rights anywhere in the world.
