The downing of Korean Air Lines flight 007 has reminded us anew that we cannot rely on the good faith of the Soviet authorities. or on their common decency. I believe that we must send a message to the Soviet Union. a message that says that the downing of the Korean airliner has implications beyond the brutality of the act itself. And that the United States is prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to encourage the Soviet Government to ease its restrictions on Soviet religious and cultural activities. to cease its harassment of Jewish activists. and to permit the unobstructed emigration of Soviet Jews. Mr. President.
