These officials that we talked to may or may not mean what they say. but all I can tell you. my colleagues. is that regardless of what they said or are saying. that today down at the grassroots. down with the everyday people. in the Soviet Union being a religious believer is very. very hard and very. very tough. I know that my colleagues join me in wishing the best to Pastor Lamekin and Alyosha. The two of them who so much want to exercise their religious rights. who so much want to be practicing Christians in the Soviet Union. are now so discouraged that they want to emigrate. I know my colleagues join me in hoping that they will get their wish. hoping that they will remain personally safe. that they will not suffer any more physical or other harassment and in hoping that they and their brethren. Christians and Jews and other religious believers will some day be able to enjoy full religious freedom in the Soviet Union.
