Mr. President. it is with a renewed sense of hope that I speak about the Kogens and others in similar situations today. We all realize that over the past decades there have been fluctuations in the emigration policies of the Soviet Government. Often these fluctuations have coincided with changes in relations between the Governments of the Soviet Union and the United States. I am hopeful that now that arms negotiations are again underway in Geneva. and that Mr. Reagan and Mr. Gorbachev appear to be anxious to work toward better relations between our two countries. that emigration from the Soviet Union will again increase. In addition. I call upon those who represent the United States in Geneva and in all contacts with Soviet officials to make it clear to them that the United Statesits Government and its peoplecontinue to be vitally concerned about Soviet emigration policy and about the treatment of Jews. Christians. and all ethnic minorities within the Soviet Union. Mr.
