Reflecting overwhelming but imperfectly informed public sentiment. dominant voices in the House and Senate recently prevailed on the administration to insist on a more liberal Jewish emigration policy on the part of the Soviet Union as a condition for increased trade. I supported the effort as the only one offered to express our proper concern for another people. But I would have thought a more attainable and more valuable quid pro quo would have been a firm guarantee of Soviet cooperation in securing a stable peace for Israel and her neighbors.
