Veritys dedication to the cause of increasing United StatesSoviet trade rises above all other considerations. It is a cause to which Mr. Verity has dedicated a large part of his adult life and I would expect no different from him. His statement that if Soviet Jewish emigration increases to some unspecified higher level. the Jewish community would be willing "to work with the Congress * * * on a waiver. which would make it possible to increase trade. which has been my interest * * *." puts the matter very clearly. His promise to obey JacksonVanik as "the law of the land" is grudging. What else could he say?
