I. as well as many of my colleagues. will be attending the march and rally near the United Nations headquarters. We will be joined by Americans of all races. religions and walks of life in a truly nonsectarian display of concern for those Soviet citizens denied their most basic rights. This years rally is an especially important event because the current plight of Soviet Jews is at its worst since the time of the infamous Leningrad trials of 197071. Fewer than 100 Jews per month are now allowed to leave. a 98percent drop in the emigration rate from 1979. Harassment of refuseniks and antiSemitism. against even nonactivist Jews. have risen sharply. Jewish religious services are regularly discouraged or disrupted.
