For the first time today. since the end of World War II. Jews. Armenians. and others who are seeking to flee the oppressive conditions that still remain in the Soviet Union may find themselves declared not to be refugees. That is. this administration which. when it does the military budget. tells Members it is the same old Soviet Union as far as we better act as if it is the same old Soviet Union. we better not take into account any of the changes. "Maybe later." they say. "but right now we better do military budgets as if nothing changes." but when it comes to granting refugee status to Jews and Armenians. they say this is a new Soviet Union. things are better. and for the first time we are denying people refugee status. So it seems to me the administration thinks Brezhnev is running Russia. and it seems to me they seek Andre Sakharov is running Russia. anu ..over seem to get it just right. They err between an excessively harsh view and a fatuously naive one.
