In Washington, a mixed
reaction greeted a state-
ment by the American
Jewish Congress to a
House subcommittee last
week in support of a bill
suspending the
Jackson-Vanik Amend-
ment so that export cre-
dits could be granted to
the USSR and other
Soviet block states for the
purchase of American
grain and other farm
products.
The AJCongress said it
• favored the suspension as a
quid pro quo, an "almost
exact symbolic equivalent
of the recent modest in-
crease in Soviet Jewish
emigration."
But an aide to Sen. Henry
M. Jackson (D-Wash.) said
that the senator opposes
any relaxation of the ban on
export credits "because of
the total situation."
He cited "the perilous pos-
ition of key refusniks" such
as Vladimir Slepak,
Anatoly Shcharansky and
Alexander Ginzburg. The
senator said he feels that
such action would "not be an
appropriate move at this
time," the aide said.
