As Members of the Senate. we must send a strong message to the Soviet Government that these human rights violations cannot be tolerated. We can settle for no less. The issues of human rights and emigration must always be a primary consideration in the relations between our two nations. The number of Jews allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union tends to coincide with the state of relations between our countries. The advent of new Soviet leadership and the resumption of arms control negotiations makes this a most opportune moment. We must use this opening to press for better treatment and increased emigration opportunities for Soviet Jews.*
