Any steps. no matter how small. on which we can agree create a better atmosphere in which more substantial steps can be taken. The Soviets. on their part. should: First. Let a small number of people. who are neither spies nor holders of great state secrets. emigrate from their country. This includes examples such as Soviets married to Americans. a few celebrated international cases like Anatol Shchransky. the Pentecostals in the American Embassy with whom I visited and who certainly pose no threat to the Soviets if they are permitted to leave. and a marvelous Jewish couple with whom I visited. Prof. and Mrs. Naum Meiman. They want to emigrate to Israel. He is 71 years old. a retired professor. He has had the courage to speak out in Moscow in behalf of freedom.
