There are more than 90 families on the Helsinki Commissions case list. Those families represent hundreds of individuals. If Gorbachev and Yeltsin are really serious about abolishing cynical Soviet emigration practices once and for all they would pick up the phone and tell OVIR to issue everyone on our list an exit visa within 24 hours. I will be more receptive to MFN when that happens. I would favor extending MFN to whatever successor state or union that may emerge from what we have known as the U.S.S.R. as a result of negotiations between the center and those republics that choose to stay within a union.
