As Mr. Gorbachev takes power in the Kremlin I hope that he is sincere in his stated desire for better relations between the United States and the U.S.S.R. I can tell him for myself. for Anna Poluoyaki and Valentina Eydelman. and for many Members of Congress. that a dramatic increase in Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union would be well received and would be seen as a strong indication that Mr. Gorbachev means what he said. I can also tell him that if the Helsinki Final Act continues to be ignored by his government. that we. in America. will never forget and we will once and for all know the value of a Soviet signature on a treaty.*
