Mr. President. the Soviet Union has indicated a desire to improve relations and promote a policy of greater openness. I welcome recent actions by the Soviet Government. especially the release of a number of prisoners of conscience. However. a few isolated instances are not enough. The Soviet Government must comply with the human rights agreements it has signed to demonstrate their sincerity to the United States. The levei of emigration from the Soviet Union remains alarmingly low. Soviet Jews. in particular. continue to be persecuted. The case of Naum Meiman exemplifies this. Naum. who is in his seventies. has little left to look forward to in life.
