Cartoons carried by Soviet magazines are so vile and revolting some are unprintable in our country. The plight of Viktor and Irina Brailovsky and their children should remind us poignantly of the plight of Soviet Jews. In 1979. 50.000 Jews were allowed to leave the Soviet Union. In 1980 this figure had fallen to 21.000. In 1974 the Congress wisely adopted the JacksonVanik amendment. which refused the Soviet Union mostfavorednation status until free emigration was allowed. The Soviet Union has not fulfilled that clause. There is little likelihood we will grant the Soviets the mostfavorednation status they so badly want. but we certainly ought not to do so.
