Gorbachevs dedication to glasnost is. The success or failure of Bnai Briths effort will help us learn whether or not the Soviet leadership is sincerely interested in allowing its citizens the simple liberty of identifying with a common religious heritage. I visited the Soviet Union in August and met with several refuseniks who are waiting for permission to emigrate. I have joined many of my colleagues in sending letters to Secretary Gorbachev on behalf of refuseniks seeking their freedom. I strongly hope that we will see a day soon when there is an open door policy for emigration from the Soviet Union. In the meantime. I think the resolution that Bnai Brith has passed is an important milestone.
