In some areas of this fourpart agenda. we have seen progress. Cultural. scientific. and other bilateral exchanges have shown a dramatic increase since my 1985 meeting with Mr. Gorbachev in Geneva. In human rights. too. we have seen some positive developments. Some political prisoners have been released. Emigration figures are up somewhat. And of course there is talk of reform in the Soviet Unionof some liberalizing changes in Soviet laws and of economic reforms that could give greater scope to individuals initiative. We harbor no illusions: While changes have taken place in the Soviet system. the oneparty system unchecked by democratic institutions remains unchanged.
