Speaker. todays Wall Street Journal contains a useful article on official harassment of Jews in the Soviet Union. This article. "The Soviets Are Revoking Degrees Held by Jews." was written by William Korey. director of international policy research for Bnai Brith International. Mr. Korey reports that a total of 65 Jewish scientists have lost or will soon lose their degrees as a result of applying to emigrate. Losing a degree means an academics intellectual freedom is totally restricted. and that he or she cannot earn a living. I am particularly sensitive to the restrictive and repressive influence of the Soviet Government on the lives of academics in the U.S.S.R.: My adopted prisoner of conscience.
