The linkage is clearly there in teims of our confidence in the Soviets entering into a new agreement if they clearly refuse to abide by Helsinki. I think the linkage is also there because it is not merely an Internal policy of the Soviet Government. Many of the Soviets would tell us it is only internal policy. but what makes it international is first of all the Helsinki treaty. and second. it is a policy of family reunification. For every family member in the Soviet Union that is denied an exit visa. there is a family member In Dallas. TX. or in Wisconsin or in Florida who is waiting for their family member to join them. That makes it an internal policy of at least two countries and that makes it an international problem.
