President Reagan faces both a challenge and a unique opportunity next month at the Geneva summit. I urge him to utilize this opportunity to raise the plight of Soviet Jews. such as Yuri Tarnopolsky. with Mikhail Gorbachev and to convey to the Soviet leader that the plight of Soviet Jewry is a matter of international concern and specifically a matter of concern to all Americans. Respect for the rights of Soviet Jews and relaxation of restrictions on their right to emigrate would go a long way toward improving the climate between our two countries. thereby enhancing peace and security throughout the world. I strongly urge President Reagan to convey that message to General Secretary Gorbachev at Geneva. Prisoners of conscience in the Soviet Union look to us as their voice and seek out our help.
