Radio Liberty. which broadcasts to 12 other nationalities in the Soviet Union. must do more to provide communication to the Jewish population behind the Iron Curtain. As we are all well aware. the situation in the Soviet Union grows worse each day for its 3 million Jewish citizens. Emigration which totaled over 50.000 in 1979 fell to less than 1.000 last year. Almost every day there are new reports of statesanctioned antiSemitism and the arbitrary detention of those who seek to practice their religion. Soviet authorities. in violation of the Helsinki accords. are interfering with postal and telephone communications and seek increasingly to isolate the Jewish population from contact with the West.
