WASHINGTON ( J T A ) —
Congress adjourned last Fri-
day for a month-long recess
with the Mills-Vanik Amend-
ment to the Trade Reform
Act yet to be acted on by
the House Ways and Means
Committee "but s t i 1 1 on
course" according to a House
source.
The House committee, mov-
ing deliberately in its analy-
sis of the complex trade leg-
islation submitted to Congress
by President Nixon, has not
yet reached the Mills-Vanik
measure that would tie trade
concessions to the Soviet
Union to a lifting of emigra-
tion restrictions.
But the delay has not af-
fected support for the meas-
ure, said an aide to one of its
origbal sponsors, Rep.
Charles A. Vanik (D.-Ohio).
"All the indications are
that everyone is still firm on
it," the aide said, referring
to the already expressed sup-
port of 18 of the committee's
25 members.
"The amendment is also in
good shape in the House,"
he added, "and the prospects
are excellent" for passage.
T h e r e are presently 285
House members listed as co-
sponsors of the bill.
The aide said that national
security advisor Dr. Henry
Kissinger's disclosure to Jew-
ish leaders recently of Soviet
claims of leniency to Jews
who have repeatedly been
denied visas had little impact
in the House.
During his summit talks
here, Soviet Communist
Party Secretary Leonid I.
Brezhnev produced figures
purportedly showing that the
Soviet Union had allowed
most applicants to emigrate,
holding back only those who
held state secrets.
But reports of persecution
of Soviet Jews applying for
exit visas "cancels any list
that Mr. Brezhnev can pull
out of his vest pocket," the
aide said.
Reports such as the sudden
drafting of would-be emigrant
Levich into the army con-
tinually solidify s u p p o r t
among House members for
the Mils-Vanik measure, he
added.
In the Senate, an aide to
Sen.. Henry M. Jackson (D.
Wash.) said there had been
no erosion of support for his
companion bill during the
wait for final action.
