According to reports from the State Department. the Soviet Union has recently allowed 244 individuals to join their families in the United States. This action represents the largest number of cases resolved at one time by the Soviet Union. This release of 244 individuals is encouraging. and provides a glimmer of hope for the thousands of Soviet citizens still wishing to emigrate. We must continue to speak out on behalf of those who remain in the Soviet Union for our efforts may someday allow their desire to leave to become a reality. Therefore. we must not be satisfied with such small. symbolic gestures by the Soviet Union. but we must hold our applause until the Yakirs and all prisoners of conscience are given the right to emigrate and be reunited with their friends and relatives.
