But in addition to all that. JacksonVanik was put on the books because of the concern for human rights that is peculiar to America. And it was put into a trade bill as a means of trying to get the Soviets to increase emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union. I have supported that. I believe that it is an important instrument for the Jewish community to have as a lever to try to encourage the Soviet government to increase their emigration so that I shall support JacksonVanik. I would like to qualify that by saying that I do believe that if the Soviet government would be willing to increase emigration by some amountand I dont know what that amount IsI believe that the Jewish community in this country would be willing to work with the Congress on some modification. a waiver perhaps. which would make it possible to increase trade between the Soviet Union and the United States. So. I shall support JacksonVanik.
