As our country and the Soviet Union seek to improve our relations. we must constantly remind the Soviets of our deep concern for the Jews of Russia and of the high priority our country attaches to their fate. Perhaps some progress will be made on this issue when President Reagan meets with Mikhail Gorbachev in November. We must continue our vigil of protest until the Jews of the Soviet Union are free to emigrate or free to live as Jews if they choose to stay in the Soviet Union. Until Yuli Edelshtein is released from jail and is free to teach Hebrew. Until the Khassins can freely say the Kaddish at the site of Babi Yar.
