In spite of all this persecutionthe 17yearold son has been beaten up at schoolsuddenly under General Secretary Gorbachev we do have this opening of the door. ever so slightly. I remember when I came here as a freshman in 1977 we could call into the Soviet Union and then suddenly it has been cut off and has remained for the better part of this decade impossible to call people in the Soviet Union except them calling out by mistake. So I hope that the Politburo is sincere about trying to open up the emigration and maybe we can get back to those high levels of 60.000 allowed to come out before the invasion of Afghanistan. Also I put in an amendment unanimously accepted to implore the Soviet Union to stop interfering with the international mails. This has been another part of this dark period of the last decade where thousands upon thousands of letters have been bottled up. never reached the people to whom they were written.
