Jewish and nonJewish alike. we share the luxury of living in a country that respects. even encourages. the robust exercise of our human rights. But. at the same time. we recognize that human rights cannot be limited to certain countries. They cannot be allowed to disappear at the boundaries to the Soviet Union. Human rights are universal and must be universally recognized. The Soviet Government should immediately stop the further harassment of its Jewish citizens and allow open emigration to Israel as a necessary precondition for the free expression of religion for these people. Only when this is done will the Soviet signature on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights carry any meaning.*
