It is obvious that the words of even the Soviets supreme leader have little meaning. Certainly. we all know that the number of people who have been permitted to leave the Soviet Union is up greatly over last year. But. that is little consolation when we know there are thousands more who desire no more than the right to live together with their family in the country of their choosing. The Helsinki agreement is clear on the issue of human rights and family reunification. By signing that agreement. the Soviet Union said it would live up to those conditions. Unfortunately. that has proven not to be the case.
