Still. the police dismissed the incident as a prank. While the story of the Albers remains unchanged. this year there is an added sense of urgency owing to the serious deterioration in SovietAmerican relations. Less than a year ago. prospects were bright for continued high levels of emigration into 1980 and the possibility that the Albers would receive their exit visas. The arms limitation agreement was under serious review and the summer Olympic games in Moscow were moving ahead as planned. All this changed with Afghanistan. The SALT agreement has been put on hold. a boycott of the Olympics is probable. and prospects for the emigration of the Alber family now more questionnable than ever. But my hope remains as great as ever. And my pledge to continue my efforts to realize that hope remains unchanged.
