fewer than two dozen of the
154 countries discussed in
the recently published State
Department "Country Re-
ports on Human Rights
Practices for 1979" contain
some reference to Jews and,
in some instances, to Israel.
Most comprehensive of
the references to Jews is, as
expected, in the section on
the Soviet Union, which is

sional requirements.
Noting "dissatisfaction"
and "other protests by
Soviet minorities," the re-
port says "in recent years,
also, there have been alle-
gations that some ethnic
groups, especially Jews,
face restrictions on their
ability to participate in
leading positions in the
political system and in some
other sensitive positions. It
has been charged that in-
formal quotas exist to limit
the access of Jews to some
universities and research
institutes."
After observing "ap-
plication procedures for
emigration are cumber-
some and expensive" and
that "the cost of an emig-
ration passport to a
'capitalist' country is 300
rubles (approximately
$460)," the section on the
Soviet Union adds "in
addition, those seeking to
emigrate to Israel — the
bulk of all emigrants —
are required to give up
their Soviet citizenship,
an act which costs 500
rubles (approximately
$765)."
'Those applying for per-
mission to emigrate are fre-
quently subjected to a
variety of administrative
and extra-legal sanctions,
such as loss of job, harass-
ment and social ostracism.

fered imprisonment or exile
for their efforts to promote
their own and others' right
to emigrate: Many Soviet
Jews have waited unsuc-
cessfully for as long as seven
years for permission to emi-
grate.
the
"Nevertheless,
number of Soviet Jews re-
ceiving permission to leave
in the last few years has
risen sharply: since 1968
over 230,000 have been
given exit permission for Is-
rael. In 1979, 50,000 Soviet
Jews were allowed to emi-
grate, the largest total ever.
In addition, over 40,000
ethnic Germans have been
allowed to go to the FRG
(Federal Republic of Ger-
many) since 1968, and
thousands of Armenians
have received exit permis-
sion — mostly to the United
States. Jewish sources es-
timate that as many as
200,000 additional Soviet
Jews possess letters of invi-
tation Cvyzovs'1. from Israel
which are needed to apply to
emigrate."
Pointing out that the
Soviet "regime shows par-
ticular sensitivity to reli-
gion when it is perceived as
linked to actual or potential
political dissent, as in the
case of Roman Catholicism
in Lithuania, TQlam in Cen-
tral Asia, or Judaism," the
report observes, "There
have been continuing re-
ports of anti-Semitism as re-
flected in discrimination
against Jews in access to
higher education and the
professions. Officially-
condoned published attacks
on Zionism, which appear
only thinly to veil anti-
Semitic feelings, have also
aroused concern. There
have been some instances of
criticism in the Soviet press
of books said to mirror
anti-Semitism."
Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania are not reported
in the volume "specifically,"
but it observes "human
rights conditions in the
three republics are, how-
ever, similar to those in the
Soviet Union" and therefore
presumably for Jews as
well.
Is U.S. Ignoring
Jewish Refugees
from Teheran?
Nationally-syndicated
columnist Jack Anderson
reported this week, in a col-
umn carried in the Detroit
Free Press, that the Carter
Administration is ignoring
the plight of 100 Jewish ref-
ugees from Iran.
The refugees, now in
London and Paris, are wait-
ing for permission to come
to the U.S. as political
exiles.
Anderson charges the
Carter Administration of
ignoring their plight be-
cause it does not want to of-
fend the Iranian regime of
Ayatollah Khomeini while
American hostages are
being held in Teheran.
A precedent embalms a
principle.
