Of late. public attention has focused on Iran. Afghanistan. Camp David negotiations. Poland and the IranIraqi war. Mr. President. it is high time to make abundantly clear that we do care about those denied their fundamental right to emigrate. In this respect. the Helsinki Conference is an especially welcome opportunity. Let the public in this country now call upon our Government and the other Western governments to champion at Helsinki the emigration right of Jews. Christians. and others who can no longer tolerate or be tolerated by a repressive government. The Soviets will argue that all this is interference in their internal affairs.
