They do not realize that I have many friends and that a man in my position has little to lose. We are here today to remind Feliks Kochubievsky and his fellow Soviet Jews that their friends have not deserted them. that we will never tolerate the Soviet Unions inhumane treatment of their own citizens. and that we will not relent until the Soviet Union respects the human rights of their citizenry. Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union is at an alltime low. and antiSemitism is at an alltime high. This Is no coincidence. and at this critical juncture in United StatesSoviet relations. we must assign the Soviet Jewry issue the high priority status that it deserves. With a new Soviet leader. and with arms control talks underway. there is no better time to pursue and expect a solution to this intolerable situation.*
