Some prisoners of conscience have been released. However. we are in no way satisfied with the status quo. We must remember that while the monthly emigration numbers may seem better than in the recent past. they do not compare with the 51.320 Jews that were allowed to emigrate in 1979. Therefore. we must continue to monitor the Soviet Unions treatment of the Jewish people and their emigration policies and press for improvements. Solidarity Sunday is an important expression of our commitment to the Jews of the Soviet Union. The freedom and. indeed. the very lives of these people are dependent on our diligence and our commitment.
