Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko will be in Washington to meet with President Reagan and Secretary of State Shultz. It is a meeting that I personally welcome and hope will be only the first of many such meetings. But any such encounter between our two countries must include a discussion of the plight of Soviet Jewry. for in the Soviet Union today there are at least 400.000 Jews who are refused the right to emigrate to the land of their people. who are denied the opportunity to learn the language of that people. and who are subject to arrest for teaching that language. I call this cultural genocide. and we cannot neglect an opportunity to speak out against it or we are as culpable as the perpetrators of it.
