selves for equitable sharing
of responsibility in the re-
settling of large numbers of
Soviet Jews expected to
reach this country during
the next 12-month period
under liberalized moves on
the part of the Carter Ad-
ministration.
The U.S. government has
now granted 12,000 "parole
visas" for that period to be
issued mostly to Jews from
the Soviet Union stranded
in Rome as "drop-outs" en
route to Israel and seeking
emigration to the U.S. This
is in addition to other
categories of visas under
which emigrants from the
Soviet Union can enter this
country.
The U.S. Department of
Immigration and Naturali-
zation will now make an ef-
fort to reduce the time re-
quired for processing appli-
cations of Soviet Jewish
emigrants stranded in
Rome. These transmigrants
ususally have to wait about
five months in Rome for
