It is not an encouraging signal that genuine legal reform. as the Soviets have led us to believe. is near. In the area of freedom of movement. the situation is also mixed. Emigration levels continue to rise dramatically over what they were just 2 years ago. Yet arbitrary and capricious restrictions. many based on alleged knowledge of state secrets. continue to prevent people such as Igor Uspensky and his family from emigrating. Indeed. 60 unresolved freedom of movement cases remain from a list of 600 that the Commission submitted to members of the Supreme Soviet during our November meetings in Moscow to discuss human rights. Unfortunately. the resolution rate of these cases has slowed since the Vienna concluding document was adopted.
