These individual cases represent the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews who seek to exercise fundamental human rights in freedom from the oppression of a government hostile to religion and intolerant of their ethnic differences. In speaking out for individual Soviet Jews and in speaking out for all Soviet refusniks. we serve the cause of freedom. democracy. and religious tolerance. I join in the appeal of democratically elected representatives throughout the world to the new Soviet leader. Mr. Chernenko. that his government allow Soviet Jews the freedom to emigrate under the Helsinki accords. Such action would be welcomed. particularly by those of us working to improve overall United StatesSoviet relations in order to reduce the dangers of nuclear confrontation.*
