I know there are stories about the fact that at times I have argued about the effectiveness of JacksonVanik. And I still have reservations about its effectiveness. I believe that a lot of the recent movement of Jewish emigration is because negotiations are occurring at various levels. which may be a more significant way to increase emigration. Mr. Verity continued: But I have worked with the Jewish community very closely for the last 10 years. I have taken several messages concerning this problem to the leaders of the Soviet Union for two different presidents. I can assure you that I have been interested in this for a long time. I have met with leaders in the Jewish community recently and assured them the same thing that I will assure you. that I will do all I can to help in this Jewish emigration problem. Mr. Veritys statement can only be characterized as condescending and defensive.
