We know. for example they have had four different leaders during that time. However. I would also submit that the bellicose language and the confrontational attitude of the Reagan administration has produced a "War cf Words" that has chilled relations to the point that has almost stopped immigration. Make no mistake. I am not excusing the Soviet Union for their inexcusable behavior. I am aware that they often use issues just like this for mere pclitical propaganda. However. if we are really attempting to increase the number of immigrants and to improve the Soviet Unions record in regard to human rights. I think that we must also consider how to create a better relationship between the United States and the U.S.S.R. In the meantime. the Soviet Union could do well to show that it is also interested in improving relations by allowing Judith Rathner. her husband Leonid Bialy. their sons Alexander and Mikhail. and Mikhails wife. Miriam Fulmacht to emigrate. It might be a small step. but it would be a step in the right direction. Mr.
