ABRAM: Thank you for sending me the National Conference on Soviet Jewry report. "1983: The Year of Yuri AndropovImplications for Soviet Jews." I found the report to be of considerable interest. It is a thorough appraisal of the increasingly grave problems confronted by Soviet Jews. The issue of Soviet Jewry has been and will continue to be of high priority to this Administration. We are particularly concerned about the dramatic decline in Jewish emigration and the instances of harassment and arbitrary treatment. Please be assured that we will continue to pursue every means possible to engender more humane practices by Soviet authorities and to impress upon them the importance we attach to this issue. Sincerely.
