I would like to address a word to him. Mr. Gorbachev. you must be hearing reports of yesterdays magnificent rally involving more than 200.000 people. including the topmost leaders of our Government. who urged that you go the full mile to achieve a quantum jump in respect. credibility. and trust for yourself and for the Soviet Union by conforming your Immigration policies for Soviet Jews and others to the standards accepted by the civilized world. Nothing could more enhance the progress that is demonstrably being made toward arms control and the solution of regional conflicts than to cure this one fatal flaw in the Soviet Unions policy. a flaw that has produced such a drumbeat of criticism and resentment around the world. I say this with a full heart. a respectful heart: Show the people of the world that we can trust you. that we can put our faith in your bond and in that of the Soviet Union for the solution of these other problems.
