Ford Claims Jackson-Vanik Amendment
Helped to Slow Soviet Emigration in 1975
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
President Ford, in a politi-
cal campaign appearance
last Friday in Chicago,
claimed he had "assur-
ances" that Soviet Jewish
emigration would have ex-
ceeded the high mark of
35,000 in 1973 had Congress
not adopted the Jackson-N.
Vanik Amendment. He did
not identify the sources of
the assurances nor precisely
when he received them.
The President also said he
,..hought "world pressure is
going to be helpful in con-
tinuing the momemtum" in
which "we played an active
part" in bringing about a
resolution of the problems
in the Middle East. Ford
'-nade these remarks follow-
_ mg his prepared address
before the Chicago World
Affairs Council in which he
stressed his "policy of peace
through strength."
His only reference to the
Middle East in his text was
one sentence that "the Sinai
agreement between Israel
and Egypt reached last Sep-
tember is working well and
_is a milestone toward a per-
manent settlement in the
Middle East."

Asked about prospects
for continued stability in
the Mideast, Ford said
"Obviously, there are very
great problems to solve —
the policy of the PLO, The
Golan Heights, the West
Bank, the rest of the Sinai
and agreements to be
reached — whether a full
peace or non-belliger-
ency." He noted, "These
are very complicated and
emotional issues. But I am
an optimist, predicated on
the success we had with
Prime Minister (Yitzhak)
Rabin and (Egyptian Pres-
ident Anwar) Sadat."
nothing, if we don't move to
help the momentum going, I
think we could have another
outbreak and we've had four
in 25 years and each one
gets bloodier and worse
with world powers poten-
tially involved. So we have
an obligation to work with
the Israelis as well as their
Arab neighbors and this Ad-
ministration will" he em-
phasized, because "we have
their faith and we have
shown results by working
with them."

Ford then added: "I think
it would be in the interest of

certainly in the best interest
of that volatile, complicated,
controversial area if we

Economics Sought as Means
to Join Soviets in M.E. Talks
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger agreed with a
suggestion from Sen. Jacob
K. Javits (R-N.Y.) to consult
with the Foreign Relations
Committee on ways to use
American economic and
technological power to bring
the Soviet Union into
greater cooperation for set-
tlement of the Arab-Israel
conflict.
He made the offer after
Javits had asked him
whether it is a fact that the
conflict cannot be settled ex-
cept by concurrence be-
tween the United States and
the Soviet Union and why
the U.S-. cannot tell the So-
viets that its actions are
"deleterious to hopes for
peace in the Middle East."

Kissinger replied that
"the extensive cooperation
in the Middle East" between
the superpowers "has not
yet been completely tested"
but wondered "what does
Congress have in mind?" He
added that cooperation be-
tween Congress and the ad-
ministration "would
strengthen" the U.S. He
then promised to assign
"somebody to work" with
the committee towards that
end.
Welcoming the offer
Javits said, "I feel Soviet
policy is directed not to-
wards peace in the Middle
East but in seeing it un-
made."
Earlier Javits pointed out
that the Soviets have "no
hesitance to denounce what
suits them" like, he said, the
U.S.-Soviet trade agreement
and its treatment of Soviet
Jewish emigration. He sug-
gested the U.S. could take
similar action.
Kissinger, who was testi-
fying before the committee
in the 10th of its series of
"educational hearings," on
foreign policy choices
through the next 15 years,
later said in response to
questioning by Sen. Clifford
P. Case (R-NJ) that "there is
no way we can use economic
power" unless "to interrupt
.the free market in some
ways." He added that then
"somebody gets hurt" and
unless compensation is pro-
vided "domestic resistance"
would end too.
Case said there are
"many ways" by which
the U.S. can use its agri-
cultural products and
technology to affect Soviet
policy "without confronta-
tion."
