Billy Graham Visits
Jerusalem Holy Sites

JERUSALEM—Evangelist Billy
Graham, on a short visit here,
met Foreign Minister Abba Eban

The Knesset also adopted a
resolution calling on Soviet au-
thorities to allow Russian Jews
to leave and to permit their emi-

The resolution expressed its sat-
isfaction with the awakening of
national spirit which it said was
gathering momentum among young
Soviet Jews, for their devotion ex-
pressed in their ties with the Jew-
ish people and their yearning to
come to Israel.
The Knesset voiced vigorous pro-

denying the right of every Jew to
come to Israel and for failing to
fulfill the humanitarian principle
of the reunion of families which
Soviet Premier Alexi N. Kosygin
promised in 1966 to Soviet Jews.
