I think it extremely important that the committees hold such hearings as may be necessary. and that they expedite these considerations. A number of Senators also met with a group of Jewish dissidents. perhaps 25 or 30. and heard their views. They spoke of harassment. they spoke of loss of jobs. they spoke of the effect upon them if they applied for visas and discouragement in the application of the visas. all of which is firmly denied by the members of the Soviet delegation. However. the question of emigration was quite strongly raised with Chairman Brezhnev and he instructed Mr. Vitaly P. Rubin. the Speaker of their Parliament. as well as certain Soviet experts. to investigate the particular cases.
