I will be visiting the Soviet Union in April as part of a House delegation. headed by our distinguished Speaker. JIM WRIGHT. Human rights remains my overriding concern. Hopefully through the effort of this bipartisan delegation under the eloquent leadership of Speaker WRIGHT. we can bring about real change for Soviet Jews. Todays papers report that the Soviet Union has promised to permit thousands of Jews to emigrate to Israel this year on direct flights via the Soviets Eastbloc ally Romania. and will increase substantially Jewish religious and cultural freedom for those who remain. This came about as a result of talks between Soviet officials and two Western Jewish spokesmen. Morris B.
