Thus far. numerous prisoners of conscience have been released. and democratic voting procedures are being tried in several local elections. Although most changes are minimal. I encourage the Soviets to continue them. In addition to the changes that have already occurred. Secretary Gorbachev and other Soviet officials have made promises of future reforms. It has been stated that emigration levels will surpass 10.000 this yeara level that has not been reached since 1979. If the Soviets hope to improve relations with the United States from this change in policy. words are not enough. Actions are necessary for the United States to take the Soviet Unions claims seriously.
