Yeltsin. or Ligachev. What matters is strong action by that Government to condemn and vigorously oppose the Pamyat calltoaction. Now more than ever. we must also press the Soviets to continue their current policy of relatively free Jewish emigration. Gorbachev. Jackson. and Vanik have made an enormous difference to thousands of families. but its hard to be too enthusiastic about the increased emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union if those left behind are subject to persecution and physical attacks. I was encouraged when many legislators in the Soviet Congress of Peoples Deputies called for a toplevel denunciation of recent antiSemitism. They also appealed to highlevel Government officials to prevent any planned antiSemitic activity. whether by Pamyat or any other group.
