Speaker. in a totalitarian society where there is no effective way to appeal actions of state and party officials. We see potential in Gorbachevs policies for eventual basis improvements. but meanwhile glasnost has helped encourage a Russian nationalist movement which apparently has influence very high in the Kremlin. A central element of this movement is antiSemitism. Our policy. therefore. should be to maintain the pressure on the Soviet Government to do two things: First. to allow Jews and other Soviet citizens the right to practice their religion and cherish their heritage free of state interference. and second. to fulfill the U.S.S.R.s international obligation to pose no barriers to free emigration.
