Jackson: White House Pressures Aimed at Inducing USSR Jews' Submission (Continued from Page 1) Jackson alleged, sent "an in- termediary to meet with a group of Russian Jews ... to ' advise them to lobby Ameri- can citizens against my amendment to the trade bill . that would make trade con- cessions to the Soviet Union contingent on free emigra- tion." Lazarus was not immedi- ately available for comment. However, his deputy, John Connor, told the Jewish Tele- - graphic Agency that Lazarus declared as "flatly untrue" a report that he had urged a letter-writing campaign or had conveyed "any form" of pressure or warning to Soviet Jews during his visit to Mos- cow Feb. 13. kson said that accord- in, to a statement by 12 Jew- ish scientists in Moscow, "t h i s American official warned that the Soviet gov- ernment would 'wreak yen- _ geance' on its Jewish citizens and that `no one would be able to come to (their) aid' if the Jackson Amendment were . to be approved by Congress." son Amendment to protect the rights of Soviet citizens— Jews and non-Jews — who want to emigrate. Jackson also attacked other high administration officials opposing his amendment. He mentioned by name Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Caspar Weinberger, and Henry Kissinger. Lazarus is directly con- cerned with the Jackson Amendment's implications for U. S.-Soviet trade. Connor told the JTA that neither Laz- arus nor he nor any other Commerce Department em- ploye had engaged in pres- sures charged by Jackson. He said Lazarus "conced- ed" that he had "reacted Jackson made his charge against Lazarus in the course of disclosing a letter he had received from Soviet physi- cist Andrei Sakharov appeal- ing for passage of the Jack- For as little as $18.00— you can remember a loved one with a Gift of Life pro- viding 15 life-saving blood packs for Magen David Adorn, Israel's Emergency Medical Service. 1- — 1 Yes, I want to provide the Gift of Life with my Yizkor contribution of $ Name Donor Address City Zip_ _ State Please make your tax deduct- ible check payable and mail to: American Red Magen David for Israel 888 Seventh Avenue, New York, N.

Connor said that Lazarus expressed the hope that the "counter-productive petition" would not be put forward since the White House is "quietly pressing the Soviet government to end the con- troversial emigration tax."

The Senate acted on a res- olution by Sen. Walter Mon- dale (D., Minn.) after Sen. Jackson read a letter from Sakharov appealing for pas- sage of the Jackson Amend- ment. Ullman, who is not one of the original 18 supporters of the Mills-Vanik bill on the Ways and Means Committee, asked a delay on the vote until next week "on the chance that we can get more reason interjected into this discussion." At present, 16 of the 25 committee members support Mills-Vanik. Two earlier sup- porters—Reps. James C. Cor- man, a Democrat, and Jerry L. Pettis, a Republican, both from California — defected. Dr. Kissinger was expected to try to sway more supporters from the bill which the Nix- on administration opposes. Dr. Kissinger's near unani- mous confirmation by the Foreign Relations Committee is expected to be followed by his confirmation by the full Senate. When Dr. Kissinger appears before the Ways and Means Committee, therefore, it will be as U. S. secretary of state. At a press conference in Philadelphia, the chairman of the International League for the Rights of Man, Je- rome J. Shestack, released the text of an open letter to the Soviet head of state, N. V. Podgorny, deploring "the official and concerted cam- paign to restrict the freedom of opinion and expression" of the League's affiliate in the Soviet Union, the Moscow Human Rights Committee and its members, Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn. The league charged the Soviet government with vio- lations of the Universal Dec- laration of Human Rights and the rule of law for its threats of criminal action against Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn if they continued to express their views and for its warn- ing to Dr. Sakharov not to meet with foreign correspon- dents. The league called upon the Soviet government to make available to the Soviet public the writings of Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn, not published in the Soviet Union, but attack- ed and criticized in the So- viet press.

Capt. James O'Grady, president of the 50,000-mem- ber group has charged at a press conference in Rome that the general assembly of the International Civil Avia- tion Organization (ICAO) which winds up a month- long meeting in Rome has "almost certainly been a failure" as far as coming up with effective measures against, air piracy is con- cerned. Michigan C on g r e ssman Robert J. Huber introduced a House Concurrent Resolution calling upon Congress to offer Andrei Sakharov and Alexan- der Solzhenitsyn honorary U. S. citizenship in a gesture of solidarity and support for their striving on behalf of freedom and intellectual dig- nity in the Soviet Union. Huber pointed out that for detente to be meaningful. "it should surely be accompani- ed by a change in attitude toward human freedom and dignity in the USSR if we are ever to have such a thing as `normal' relations with the USSR. "While this is but a small gesture, I believe it is a sig- nificant one that Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn will under- stand as meaning that we un- derstand and appreciate what they are trying to do," Huber stated.

Under the proposal, Nixon could grant MFN sta- tus to the Soviet Union and other Communist countries and send annual reports to Congress on whether they show "reasonable progress" in emigration and human rights policies. "Either branch would have 90 days to veto the MFN treatment for a country by a majority vote after examin- ing the 'progress.' The Pres- ident would require new con- gressional authority after three years to grant MFN treatment to any country. "The Pettis-Corman propo- sal is being backed as a 'compromise' by big commer- cial interests eager to do bus- iness with the Soviet Union. It is deemed unacceptable by some Soviet Jewish activists who want to know what mea- sures will be defined as 'rea- sonable progress' and who will define them. "From Truman through Nixon, American presidents have favored economic and military assistance that un- deniably were to affect 'in- ternal systems.' As Sen.
