We have known for a long time that the KOB has tampered with return receipts. yet this new development gives one pause. Our hopes earlier this year were that a change in leadership in the Kremlin might bring about a softening of attitudes. Yet. despite our hopes. this year we have seen Soviet Jewish emigration continue to decline. with only 51 persons allowed to emigrate from the Soviet Union in May. we have witnessed the arrest and imprisonment of Soviet Jewish Hebrew teachers on fabricated charges. we have learned of increasing oppression of all religious activities. and we have seen proof that the KOB will go to any lengths to isolate human rights activists such as Dr. Sakharov and his wife. In an attempt to gain support for his wife.
