Is it all sizzle. no substance? I would suggest we ought to find out with appropriate hearings. There are indeed new rules for emigration. But those who have studied the regulations say that they are tougher. more restrictive than the previous ones. And these new rules clearly fly in the face of the Helsinki Final Act. which the Soviet Union signed. The Soviets claim that last month 500 Jews were told they could emigrate. But close to 40.000 have applied for exit visas. While 280 political dissidents may soon be released from prisonand there is some doubt that they will bethere are at least 750 that have been imprisoned for crimes such as teaching Hebrew. or speaking their minds on political issues.
