Beginning May 5. at Ottawa it is my hopeand It is certainly in the spirit of the resolution before us. which has been cosponsored by 55 other Senatorsthat the President will instruct his representatives to raise this issue of Soviet Jewry at each of these opportunities. There is recent evidence that this is not going to happen. and I hope the President will take action to correct this. I am referring to the reply I have Just received to a letter sent to President Reagan on March 8 urging that he undertake separate negotiations with the Soviet Union to regularize emigration from the Soviet Union. 250 Members of the 99th Congress signed that letter. including a majority of the U.S. Senate. It was a serious effort to convey an important message to the President in as nonconfrontional and constructive a manner as we could muster.
