And the children of refuseniks are deprived of opportunities as well. They stand little chance of acceptance at first or secondrate schools and universities. Young Jewish men will eventually be sucked into the "Catch22" of military servicea period of service which will later be the grounds for denial of their emigration rights due to supposed knowledge of "state secrets." And. of course. these men and women spoke of their dreams for their children to live out their culture in peace and freedom with their relatives abroad. In light of the KAL disaster. we must surely press for reparations for the families of the victims. for a full accounting from the Soviets. for a continued ban on all Aeroflot flights into our country. and for access to Soviet waters to conduct search. rescue. and salvage operations. But no. we must not end our discussions on human rights or our efforts at arms control.
